Dr. Olajide Babatunde, the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Electronic Geographical Information System and Urban Development, revealed this plan in Lagos. It comes as a response to the government’s review of the Lagos State Tribunal’s report on the building collapse at 44 Gerrard Road, Ikoyi. The report highlighted the need for better cooperation between the public and private sectors to improve monitoring and inspection of construction projects.
The goal of this partnership is to prevent building collapses by ensuring thorough monitoring and inspection of all ongoing construction projects. Babatunde emphasized that government efforts alone are insufficient for this task.

To kickstart the Accredited Certifiers Programme, orientation workshops will be held for successful consortiums and individual professionals meeting accreditation criteria.
Shodeinde Nurudeen, the Permanent Secretary of the Office of Urban Development, emphasized LASBCA’s role as the primary enforcer of building regulations in the state. He stressed the need for coordination among state agencies to avoid confusion and ensure effective enforcement.
