The Lagos state Building Control Agency (LASBCA) says it has resealed four buildings across different areas for breaching multiple safety and construction regulations.
In a statement posted on X on Sunday, Ade Ademuyiwa, the LASBCA director of public affairs, quoted Gbolahan Oki, the general manager of the agency, as saying that the action was part of the ongoing efforts to protect lives and properties.
He said the affected structures had previously been marked for violations, including unauthorised construction, non-compliance with approved building plans, and failure to secure the necessary permits.
“We cannot afford to overlook violations that put the safety of lives and properties at risk,” Oki said.
“The resealing exercise is to ensure that building owners comply with all necessary requirements before continuing any construction.”
He added that LASBCA will conduct regular inspections and enforcements throughout the state, stressing that “any building found to be in violation will face appropriate penalties, including resealing and possible demolition”.
He urged property owners and developers to adhere strictly to building regulations and obtain required approvals before beginning construction.
Oki also encouraged the public to report any suspected illegal building activities in their neighbourhoods to the relevant authorities.
