Lagos Building Collapse: Ambode Vows To Demolish All Illegal School Buildings.

Updated March 14, 2019The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has vowed to demolish all illegal school buildings in the ItaHe gave the assurance on Wednesday while responding to concerns raised by some residents on the increase in illegal schools when he visited the scene of the building collapse.

The governor lamented that while most of the buildings in the area had been marked for demolition, the landlords had remained adamant to evacuate the buildings.“So far, from what I have been briefed, we have rescued about 25 people and some are already dead but we were earlier informed that it was a school, the building is not technically a school, it is a residential building that was actually accommodating an illegal school so to speak on the second floor.

24 hours after the incident occurred, the rescue agencies say they have reached ‘ground zero’ on the site, meaning that all the rubbles had been excavated and there was no evidence that anyone was still trapped.According to the government, all relevant stakeholders including the Ministry of Health are now intensifying efforts to save the lives of those who have been rescued.

Only illegal school buildings?After how many of such incidences?What about other uncountable illegal substandard building that litter the Lagos streets? As we are tweeting more illegal buildin are being erected, some by Gov officials.This Gov better be serious. Nija got jokers.

The critical thing is to provide a new settlement area for those whose buildings are earmarked for demolition and provide infrastructures to make life easier

What did your government do all this time?

Probably just review the process of processing building permits. Too much bribe, too little work, applicants finding easier to evade the process.

Illegal buildings NOT illegal school buildings. People in the other illegal buildings that are not schools are required to be protected too. Let it be all encompassing. AkinwunmiAmbode AsiwajuTinubu followlasg

So you know they exist?

Stories 😏 na today?

He can't do it

Lol

when things happen our leaders makes laws. but they cannot plan for disaster before it happens.

When?

Within hw many month sir

Very quickly please anyone that wants to wail let them start fast

Not about schools, but all marked buildings

...In two months?

Ambode is a spent force. He is just blowing hot air. He cannot even clear the rubbish that has become the permanent landlord of Lagos not to talk of the traffic bedlam.

Is he just woken up

Medicine after death...

Oh, this one still dey? Totally forgot about him

Medicine after death.....

Will you ...? I will, if Tinubu agrees.

Medicine after death.

Akuko

Poor governance.. always waiting to react.. never proactive.yeye dey smell

They never take action until the worst has happened

The causes of that building collapse is misuse

Useless leaders in a useless country........ Crying after the head is off... Mtsheew

Abode vow is apolitical vow that can't be activate.

Pray he does that

So we have to wait for bedeviling tragedy like this to happen before such innovative moves can be taken. Why can't the elites wake up from their reckless slumber.....

Nigeria...always reactive, never proactive.

Bros Ambode, na empty promises be dis, you only have less than 3 month to leave, it will take years to do that you have promised.

Good Idea, but has he considered the children of those schools? I hope its the structures that are illegal because if he says the illegal, the lagos state government has so much blame for approving them

This guy AkinwunmiAmbode can promise and do nothing... 🤣🤣

Please do

They just know now

Thank you
