The Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. IDRIS SALAKO, has resigned.

His resignation comes barely 24 hours after a seven-storey building caved in, killing at least five persons with fears that more bodies will be recovered from the site.

This was confirmed in a statement today by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, GBENGA OMOTOSO.

It is however not clear if the commissioner tendered his resignation immediately after the collapse happened.

And, the Governor of Lagos State, BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU, has accepted the resignation of the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. IDRIS SALAKO.

A statement made available by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, GBENGA OMOTOSO, announced this, noting that the development is a prelude to the restructuring of the Ministry and its agencies.
