The governor made the statement while receiving members of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners in Ikeja.

Fashola said the government would not yield to pressure from some  Nigerians, who wanted immediate action on the incident but  would act methodically on the issue.

He said most of the pronouncements made on the incident did not reflect what actually happened and called on people to stop making comments that could bring more confusion into the situation.

Fashola described NITP as the state’s partner in progress and said his administration would continue to work with the association in ending the menace of building collapse in the state.

NITP National President, Steve Onu, commended Fashola for his many interventionist strides in the state.

Chief Onu said the association would continue to partner with the state in the area of infrastructural planning and environmental development.

On the Synagogue building collapse, Onu urged the state government to ensure that a thorough investigation was carried out to unearth the culprits of the disaster.
