Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has expressed disappointment about the activities of government officials who he accused of sabotaging government’s efforts in regulating the real estate sector.
He said he will henceforth ensure that such officials are booted out from his government.
The governor, who spoke at the second Lagos Real Estate Market Place Conference and Exhibition with the theme: ‘Lagos: 21st Century Real Estate Investment Hub, organised by the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA), said that some government officials and developers had cultivated the habit of cutting corners.
He said: “The lesson we are learning is not lost on us. But I dare say that a month before the Ikoyi building collapse, we launched a certificate of completion and certificate of fit of habitation of buildings. We had done that with Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), meaning that anybody that had done proper development to a certain level, you need to get a certificate of completion and a certificate of fit of habitation from them.”
