The Lagos State Government has issued a stop-work order on a petrol station constructed illegally at No.1 Robinson Gbagi-Benson Anoruo Street, Ajao Estate, Isolo.
Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development Dr. Idris Salako, who spoke to The Nation, said the move to stop further construction on the site was important to forestall a disaster.
The facility was being erected without any approval or stage-by-stage inspection by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) to ascertain quality of materials used.
“We cannot even be talking about checking for compliance against approval that was never given in the first place and this is dangerous for the environment as the safety and structural integrity of the facility cannot be guaranteed,” Salako said.
