Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the demolition of some completed and uncompleted buildings in the Banana Island area of the state.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that this was disclosed by the governor via a post on his Twitter handle on Sundday, April 23, 2023.

Sanwo-Olu wrote; “I led a delegation of government officials for an on-the-spot assessment of a seven-storey building under construction which collapsed recently in the Banana Island area in Ikoyi.

“A lot of investigation is going on right now, while they are still clearing the rubbles from the collapsed building, we have given the order to stop work, not only on this site but also on all of the construction sites in Banana Island.”

“I also ordered the marking for immediate demolition and sealing, many completed and uncompleted buildings with various building infractions and those that were not granted appropriate approvals for construction by agencies of government.”

“Our administration will no longer tolerate the activities of greedy developers who reclaim land from water illegally in connivance with some government agencies. What we witnessed today is what I will call an unapproved extension into the water.”

“It is heartbreaking each time we have to go through this and it shows sometimes how irresponsible those developers and some of our citizens are. And of course, our officers who are also not alive to their responsibilities.”

“We will continue to do what we need to do to ensure that we keep the lives of our residents safe at all times. We have set up an external seven-man committee and are giving them two weeks to independently ascertain what has gone wrong there. This will also further strengthen us to come up with a robust work plan that we can enforce going forward
