BUILDING COLLAPSE: LAGOS STATE GOVT. GOES HARD ON BLOCK MOULDERS

Announcing this to journalists, Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Ade Ipaye, said the Building and Civil Engineering Materials Quality Control Laboratory established 2006, would begin enforcement on block moulders.
Ipaye explained that the law specifically prohibited the production of blocks and allied products in Lagos State without first obtaining quality control test certificates from the Laboratory.
He called on property owners, builders and developers to cooperate with the state government to eliminate incidents of collapsed buildings in the state by complying with existing laws.
