President MUHAMMADU BUHARI, has commiserated with families of those who died, sustained injuries, and were affected in the building collapse at Ebute Metta area of Lagos State, with search and rescue still ongoing at the site.

He also lamented the “embarrassing” frequency of building collapse in the country.

This comes after a three-storey building collapsed on Sunday night at 32, Ibadan Street, Ebute Metta, Lagos.

The President noted that the frequency of building collapses in the country has become increasingly embarrassing, urging the relevant state authorities to work closely with professional bodies to put a halt to these unfortunate but preventable incidents.

He, therefore, wished those injured a speedy recovery and prayed for divine assistance in the ongoing search and rescue operations.
