LASG hands over new building to occupants

                                      

The Lagos State Government has handed over a new building known as Block 6 in Progressive Estate, Abule Nla, Ebute Meta West to the former occupants.
A few years ago, its occupants had abandoned the building for fear that it might collapse on them.

The building, a block of six units of three-bedroom flats, was pulled down in 2013 following the approval of the governor for the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation to it.

According to the residents of the area, the process began over two decades ago when the building showed signs of defect.

At the handover ceremony of the block to the occupants, the Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Housing, Mr. Olatunji Odunlami, said Governor Babatunde Fashola first gave his approval in 2009 but the reconstruction work started in 2013 due to protocols.
