Commissioner shuts down building site in Lekki
A building site in Lekki, Lagos state, has been shut down.
According to astatement from the ministry, this closure was as a result of the haphazard nature of the building.
“The building was almost touching the electricity service cable along the street."
This building site is along Wole Olateju Street, Lekki Phase 1.
Last week, Lagos state government shut down houses without proper indoor toilets.
These homes were closed because of the dangers associated with open defecation.
"Government cannot take all landlords and start inspecting all the houses, but the Ministry of Health, 'Wole, Wole’ Inspection Officers, the houses they go and they find that there are no toilets, they seal them off. That is an ongoing thing, their own is just to go round the environment, enter any residential or official premises, inspect; once they see any defect, they give them an ultimatum to put such things in order. And once they are not done, they are sanctioned according to the law.
