The Oniru building collapse has once again brought to light the Lagos government’s apparent laxity in enforcement of the laws governing construction.
Early on Sunday morning, a seven-story building that was near Palace Road in Oniru collapsed on Oba Idowu Oniru Street..
According to Salako, the site had been sealed three times, but the owner ignored the warnings and resumed work.
“We have a developer that is hostile and who contravenes the law of the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning, 2019, as amended”, he said.
The commissioner confirmed that he did not obtain the required planning permit and authorization before beginning construction.
