The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has blamed real estate practitioners not building according to the property laws of the state for the menace of building collapse in Lagos.
Governor Sanwo-Olu stated this during a real estate summit jointly organised by the Lagos Business School and the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, recently.
The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin, said Lagos was forging ahead to find lasting solutions to the state’s housing concerns.
The Governor said there would be more than 30 million people living in Lagos by 2035, adding that this would present a challenge of providing affordable housing for the teeming population, given the limited land mass of the state.
He emphasized the need for thegovernment to continuously advocate, monitor and enforce where necessary, the extant regulations and standards become necessary with the application of innovation and quality control strategies and technologies.”
