This is because they passed the integrity test, carried out to ascertain their structural stability.
Mr. Wasiu Anifowoshe, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, made the announcement in a recent statement, issued by Harib Aruna, the Chief Press Secretary.
"What we did was that we sealed the buildings but the governor demanded that the building should be unsealed. The tenants have been given the permission to return to their houses.

The integrity test was conducted by the Lagos State Material testing Laboratory and the result of the test would have been submitted to the governor. It is the governor who has the right to announce the result of the test," he added.
This structural stability test was initiated after a five-storey building, belonging to Lekki Gardens, collapsed.
Over 35 people were killed in this horrible incident.
