A five-storey structure, reportedly owned by the Love World (Christ Embassy Church) crusade ground, along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Asese, has been sealed-off by the Ogun State Building Production Management Authority (OGBPMA), to prevent loss of lives and property after a partial collapse occurred.
Acting General Manager of the agency ,Engr. Olakunle Olaniran supervised the joint inspection by Officers of the Ogun State Building Production Management Authority (OGBPMA) and Ogun State Planning Development Permits Authority (OGPDPA), to find out the cause of the occurrence, and institute steps to forestall further building collapse.
The State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Town Planner Olatunji Odunlami commenting on the situation, described it as unfortunate
He says the situation is avoidable, appealing to citizens of the State to always obtain necessary permits before embarking on any construction work, and also ensure the use of professionals to erect their structures.
Also speaking, Engr. Olaniran, said enforcement notices had been served, and the structure cordoned off with caution tape to restrict movement around the building by motorists
He explained that the building contravened both the planning and building regulations of the State, insisting that works would not continue at the site until the owner perfects documentation required by the Ministry.
