The Lagos State Government has answered the call of concerned residents by demolishing a dilapidated building located in the Ojuelegba area of the state.
According officials of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) in the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development (MPP&UD), this followed a distress call by residents of the area, after the balcony collapsed.
It was gathered that the building which was empty had initially been marked for demolition before it became occupied by illegal squatters.

Others involved in the exercise included the MPP&UD Permanent Secretary, Arc. Folusho Dipe, General Manager, LASBCA, Engr.
