Our problem is mostly a people's problem.

Individually, we have greedy and heartless citizens in the majority.

Up till now, I'm still battling the 2m tax levy they placed on me.

This is a fee they can't back up after paying every other fees placed on my neck because I chose to build a shelter!

This is an approval I started since Jan!

They sit in their offices, hardly visit construction sites.

When you see them, it's to come harrass and seal up sites they failed to inspect.
Suspending him should not be the last, each offices have redundant, criminal minded officials, they should make them sit up or be sacked.

Well while talking about building collapse, house owners are sometimes to blame.

Someone will give you a quotation and the next question you will ask is that the next person price is cheaper.

Instead of asking what materials and asking technical questions about what the person wants to do and how to get it done.

Plenty people are hungry and in dire need of funds will collect job and start cutting corners because at the end of the day, profit is the reason people do business. Even hospitals and doctors are looking for profits were

Good news, but not only him the directors in the ministry are the biggest problem of government. They are the root, civil servants that works there for 30 years. This guy is Just commissioner. Those dude are strengths of governance permanent secretaries head of departments are our bigger problem. They are the engine that runs the system, they are our problem Nigerian civil servant. Commissioner will only Serve two terms if he’s lucky. The commissioner can’t even fire them because of the civil service rules. Many of these people in those positions do things that can't be questioned. At least in the last few days we've seen many of them on federal levels defending their budget, imagine the drama happening there, first is from madam pamsect from water resources wants to borrow 200 million dollars, when asked what did she do with the previous money, her response was nobody ever asked me that question that's why I don't have the answer with me. Another one is from the health ministry wanted to borrow another 200 million dollars to buy mosquito net imagine that, where ordinary citizens don't know where their next meal will come. It's really embarrassing and shameful to be seeing these people on national tv's parading themselves as leaders. What a mess

Just look at the under decking of the collapsed highrise. Very untidy for a structure of that magnitude. Purely a regulatory failure.

We are used to all these theatrics bro. I did more than all these on Lekki Gardens Building Collapse on this same thread in 2016.

Just like Lekki Gardens, the approval was not for the number of floors built.

Were they sleeping when 6 new floors were added? Can 6 floors be added to 15 floors in 4 months?

RIP to the dead.

A 21 floor building on Gerrard road should have nothing less than 40 - 50m deep pile.

I’ll start from the company that did the pile. Did they actually achieve the recommended depth?

Those who know knows.

After then you can move to the PIT guys, did they actually carried out the test?

All I can say is NAWAO!!!

As long as Nigeria is concerned, na to just buy land and build your own.

Plastering and dressing can hide many structural defects.

How about kickbacks that are often imposed on the contractor? Pay me this amount or no more jobs for you. Pay this to the guy who facilitated/fast-tracked the approvals? This one is for the office? That one is for oga, the oga never asks directly
