Twelve structures have been resealed, and two unlawful fences have been torn down thanks to efforts by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), and the State Task Force.

The activity followed the instructions given by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on construction on Banana Island and the surrounding area.

The buildings were sealed for a number of infractions, according to the operation’s general manager, Gbolahan Oki, including construction of unapproved structures, failing to get LASBCA clearance before beginning work, and violating the official seal.

Oki emphasized that the ongoing demolition and sealing of those structures in Banana Island as well as other parts of the state was intended to compel compliance and restore order to the built environment.

Recall that a seven-story structure that was being built on Banana Island just collapsed, killing one person.

Consequently, Governor Sanwo-Olu swiftly paid an on-the-spot inspection to the site, halting future building of any structure in the Island and its surrounds.
