Lagos State Governor  BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU has lamented the disregard for building code, saying if professionals comply with codes, there will be less building collapse.

Governor   SANWO-OLU made this known while speaking at the second Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) conference: 

He said: One major challenge is citizens’ unadherence to building codes which translates to disregard for building regulations by home owners and developers.

The governor added that It is crucial to enforce building regulations to prevent illegal, haphazard and poorly constructed buildings detrimental to the well being. 

He noted that While shelter is important, there is a need to build right to have buildings that are safe, healthy and preserved for future.
