THE Lagos State Government, yesterday, embarked on a joint post-construction
audit of existing structures in the state in order to prevent the spate of
building collapse as well as ensure a sustainable and well-planned environment.
The state government has directed the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit
Authority, LASPPPA, and Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA to
carry-out the exercise.
The General Manager of LASPPPA, Mr. Funmi Osifuye, during a statewide exercise,
explained that the measure was also launched in a bid to update the state’s
Physical Development Database and uphold the law for a sustainable, safe,
secure, functional, business and tourism friendly environment.
Osifuye, while
noting that the exercise would also ascertain the structural stability of the
buildings to prevent a collapse of structures in the state, urged every
owner/developer whose property is not covered by a Planning Permit/ Building
Plan approval to commence the process of regularisation in line with the recent
public announcement by the ministry.
