Awobodu made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Lagos.
NAN reports that no fewer than 45 pupils said to be on the last floor of the building were rescued from the rubble. “The collapsed building had been marked for demolition about three times, but the building regulatory agency has not demolished it.“Let the building control agency take the bull by the horn, by ensuring that all distressed buildings in the state are identified and demolished.
Awobodu said that the architects, building engineers, bricklayers and the end-users must also live up to expectations by complying with the construction rules and regulations guiding the industry. According to him, all players in the industry have a role to play in addressing the issue of building collapse.“Residents, who are the end-users have vital roles to play in curbing building collapse; they are in a better position to detect early illegal, abandoned and substandard constructions.
There are private and public building.Buildings have a life span like human beings. We have different design parameters for private and public buildings. In Lagos and many cities in Nigeria, private buildings have been converted to public buildings. This is risky for habitation.
