Lagos State Government has urged occupants of marked distressed buildings across the State to immediately vacate them pending the arrival of the demolition team of Lagos State Building Control Agency<\/a> (LASBCA).<\/p>\n

Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Prince Rotimi Ogunleye, made the appeal on Monday following the collapse of a distressed three-storey building located on\u00a050, Kakawa Street<\/a>, Campos, Lagos Island<\/p>\n

No casualty was recorded from the incident very close to the scenes of similar occurrences in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Ogunleye said, \u201cThe building in question had been identified as distressed by the officers of the LASBCA and all the necessary statutory notices had been duly served. It was one of the defective structures marked for removal by the Agency.<\/p>

\u201cFortunately, occupants had been evacuated before the incidents occurred. Immediately, the Lagos State Rescue Team and LASBCA were alerted and they moved to site promptly to check all adjoining buildings so as to evacuate the occupants to avoid any further hazards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already, 25 buildings have been removed by LASBCA as the government has stepped up measures to rid the State of distressed buildings so as to prevent loss of lives and property due to sudden collapse in the state.<\/p>\n

This is as relief and resettlement centres have also been opened to accommodate those affected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
