Lagos to Demolish Article Shopping Complex, Issues Ultimatum to Odun-Ade Traders
The Lagos State Building Control Agency has ordered demolition of the Article Shopping Complex in Satellite Town. Traders at Agric and Coker markets in Odun-Ade have been given 14 days to carry out integrity tests on distressed three-storey blocks. An enforcement team found several dilapidated and partly collapsed structures in both markets. Officials rejected traders’ repair plans and warned that building owners who ignore the order will face prosecution. At the Article Shopping Complex near the site of last week’s collapse, an additional office block was brought down. LASBCA says 90% of inspected buildings in Ajeromi-Ifelodun are unsafe. The state government insists it will maintain strict building standards to protect residents.
