LAGOS STATE READS RIOT ACT TO BUILDING DEVELOPERS, CONTRACTORS!!!

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday read the riot act to developers and 

contractors alike, saying that the Government would no longer tolerate flouting of building 

regulations in line with its resolve to restore confidence in the building control and supervision 

process to ensure a safer Lagos. He said that much as his administration is addressing the challenge of housing deficit, the issue of safety concerns in the building sector was also top priority.  

Governor Ambode, who gave the warning at the celebration of 2016 World Habitat Day organised by the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development with the theme, ‘Housing at the Centre’, held at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium in Alausa, said that Lagos State will create an additional 187, 500 new houses in the next five years which would go a long way to reduce the housing deficit estimated at 2.5 million in the state.
