According to him, “The uncompleted building was not the one that collapsed, rather it was the fence of a building close to it. What happened was that they (contractors) excavated deep into the foundation of the fence of the building housing the bank and caused the wall to fall on them.

“The best we could do was to sensitise the people to know what to do and also to call on stakeholders and those approving agencies, Development Control, Engineering Services, to ensure that they give the proper approval and ensure that they monitor construction going on in all allocations.JAMB Result

“The approval is supposed to be in phases, when you do approval in phase one, when they do according to specifications, you now give them approval for the second phase. By giving blanket approval to just go and start building, they can build with whatever materials they like. In this case, like I said, we are not talking about the usage of bad materials or inferior materials but because they extended their building into the neighbourhood wall.
