Just days after the sack of the General Manager of Building Control Agency, Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode
has announced the establishment of a five man committee to examine the
Urban and Regional Planning Law of the State as it affects the Lagos
State Building Control Agency (LASBCA).
This announcement was made during his
visit to the site of the collapsed Lekki Gardens’ building today. While
assuring Lagosians that the safety of Lagosians is of primary concern to
the Lagos State government, Governor Ambode advised residents of
structures owned by the same company to vacate the buildings to be able
to effectively carry out integrity test on the structures.
This, he said, will go a long way in
preventing a similar occurrence, something he has set out to do with the
newly established committee to be chaired by the past president of the
Nigerian Institute of Town Planners and Association of Professional
Bodies of Nigeria TPL. (Dr.) Olubunmi Ajayi.
According to his Twitter handle, the
5-man committee was set up “to examine the Urban and Regional Planning
Law of the State as it affects LASBCA”
