A three-storey building under construction has collapsed at No. 1 Isalegangan Street by Itafaji Market, Lagos Island area of Lagos State.



It was learnt that the building collapsed around 10.15am on Thursday.




The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu made this known in a statement on Thursday, noting that the agency responded to the scene of the incident and conducted a thorough assessment.



He said it was observed that the structure collapsed on its own without external factor, adding that the access street was very narrow and would be difficult for heavy-duty vehicular operations.



"The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) should carry out the manual demolition of the few pillars that are still standing," Oke-Osanyintolu recommended.



"The manual site clearance would be coordinated by LASEMA Lekki branch so that the road could be free from the debris related to construction work before the collapse.



“Members of the public are being engaged in order to stay away from the incident scene,” he said.

Lagos and collapse building Na five and six

May be they are making use of tinubulation inspired blocks

Sophisticated state.

In this great Tinubulation
Expect more of this as quack Builders cut corners


Cement is 15k
A ton of iron is over a million


what a calamity

Check the quality of the construction engineering.

Check well - the current Tinubulation in the land was a factor. 👋

More buildings will collapse as long as the price of a bag of cement continues to change per minute.
A single 10mm iron rod is now close to 10,000 Naira per piece.
Wood used in supporting construction work is continually increasing in price.
A China vehicle of sand is close to 200,000 Naira.
Unscrupulous builders must cut corners and dilute what they are using in building houses.
The basic fact is more sub standard houses will be built and as such more and more buildings will collapse!

The entire Lagos needs to be completely bulldozed and rebuilt, no masterplan just luxury slums everywhere.
