AMMC Hires Consultant to Probe Abuja Building Collapse

The Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), through its Department of Development Control, has engaged a consultant to investigate the partial collapse of a residential building located at Plot 496, Cadastral Zone A08, Wuse 2 District. This incident occurred over the weekend, and fortunately, no casualties were reported.

Bashir Madaki Sanusi, the Director of Development Control, stated that the consultant will conduct an integrity test to determine the possible cause of the collapse, assess the stability of the remaining structure, and recommend appropriate measures. Additionally, officials have begun evacuating debris from the site to ensure safety and facilitate further assessment.

The AMMC reaffirmed its commitment to promoting building safety, enforcing compliance with approved building regulations, and protecting lives and property across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
