The Lagos State Government on Friday began the process toward the removal of distressed buildings in the Alaba International Market in Ojo Local Government of the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the enforcement team of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and the Lagos State Task Force embarked on the joint exercise.
The team which went round to re-seal several buildings that had been marked with previous multiple quit seal notices by LASBCA, said the measure was to prevent disaster.
They advised occupants on the need to move out of the structurally defective buildings which they said had become too dangerous for habitation.
A NAN correspondent on the delegation observed that some of the buildings undergoing reconstruction were tilted.
