The Lagos State Government has reiterated its resolve to demolish buildings that fail its integrity test.

The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, spoke when he visited Dosunmu Market on the Lagos Island which was gutted by fire on Tuesday.

No fewer than 14 buildings were gutted by fire which resulted in the loss of goods worth millions of naira.

During his visit to the scene of the incident, Governor Sanwo-Olu said a lot of residential apartments have been turned into warehouses therefore more buildings will go down.

According to him, what happened was a very unfortunate, but preventable disaster because access was denied to the first responder to the fire for a couple of hours. 

Governor Sanwo-Olu added that the Dosunmu Market would be closed indefinitely, but that government would assist those to be affected.
