Lagos Government Forms Committee to Demolish Razed 23-Storey Building

The Lagos State government has established a committee led by Margaret Adesey to oversee the demolition of a 23-storey building that was destroyed by a fire. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced this decision after assessing the site and expressing concerns about the structural integrity.

The operation aims to adhere to global best practices for post-fire structural collapse management, focusing on public safety and emergency response. The process will involve careful debris removal to avoid destabilizing nearby structures.

The incident remains volatile due to embedded rubble and potential risks of further collapses.
