Officials of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) have commenced the demolition of buildings on Banana Island that are in contravention of the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning Development Law (2019).
The exercise is in compliance with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive last weekend when he visited the site of the seven-storey building that collapsed on Banana Island two weeks ago.
Sanwo-Olu said the site of the collapsed building was not originally part of the Island’s plan.
The demolition team was led by LASBCA’s General Manager, Arc. Gbolahan Oki, and the Task Force Chairman, Chief Superintendent of Police Shola Jejeloye.
