In a bid to stem the incessant collapse of buildings in the state, the Lagos State government has banned developers from working on building construction on weekends, public holidays and at night. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/05/22/lagos-bans-building-on-weekends-public-holidays/ |

Makes no sense. Engineering construction can take place at any time of the day depending on the material being worked. Thats a backward utterance that does not stop collapse of buildings now or at any other time in the future. Its simply an excuse to cover up negligence in building inspections. 43 Likes |

This will hike up an building projects. An industry that is getting more lucrative and more expensive. Longer time for projects to get actualised and more excuses from contractors. 1 Like |

I think I'll side with Mr Governor on this. I once had an opportunity to work wit a developer somewhere around lagos. We worked everyday but on sundays. The thing is dat d owner of d building has a brother who helps monitor the jobs. On this fateful week,he told d developer he wil be going to a wedding party by saturday. Before now,we were supposd to cast the decking of the building and it would require lots of cement. The developer nw informed us nt to resume the casting work til saturday. On that day,he first reduced the budgeted cement by half and carted them away,before work began. As his supervisor,I couldnt question him cos I know he knew I understood wat he did. There is a degree of wisdom in dat decision,imho. 5 Likes |

These Lagos boys need to go to Yaba and get their heads checked! Everybody builds during the weekend, night with flood-light, public holidays. These are the best time to build as heavy and bulky equipment can move around without causing traffic or human obstruction and if atall, very minimal disruption. Oga at the top is off duty and can come see wetin dey happen. Who are those guys and from which interior are they coming from ![]() 5 Likes |

These guys are jokers for real. Abandoned building projects? Who told you that they have been abandoned? And why would you resort to confiscating of private properties? If you do that, it will never fly in the court. It will be tantamount to the breach of fundamental human right. This Lagos is becoming something else, the over zealous commissioners and advisers are hell bent on outdoing each other with stupid ideas. Where on earth do you take over property because the owner has not been able to get it completed? Who told you that you have the right to tell people when to work or not work? If I decide to work on the weekend, it is my prerogative and shouldn't be a concern of the government. The government has no freaking right to ask people not to construct houses on certain days of the week. Pathetic!!! 6 Likes |

I think the S.G is on point construction workers always work in haste in other to meet up with delivery date. This is because the work is usually slow at the begining and most developers chop into the money meant for the exercise which always make them to start rushing later. The effect of this is to over stretch the labours and this in turn will not make them to deliver efficiently. So if LSG is requesting for break for building developers I think it makes sense |

See how stupid your argument is. How could you justify a directive that cannot even pass muster in the law courts based on one incident? Because your developer did what he did, does not mean every other developer will do same. 1 Like |

What about the people that depend on what they get on daily basis? How will they survive if they cannot work on Saturdays & public holidays? That's not proper. they should look for another way to check this menace other than stopping people from making their daily bread. They ask for permission from whomever want to build on these days to be inspected before the work starts. 1 Like |
