The Lagos state government has warned that the State will pull down any building that falls below building regulatory standards in the Dosumu Market following a fire disaster which affected more than fourteen buildings in Lagos Island.

The state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated this yesterday while on inspection of the affected street reiterating that the market has been closed to trading activities indefinitely.

He said that all state agencies that had anything to do with building regulations had been mandated to report to Lagos Island markets for integrity tests on buildings, while an audit of the Dosumu fire incident would be conducted before the market would reopen.

Sanwo-Olu said all residential buildings turned into markets, warehouses, and others found unfit for habitation would be demolished.

He added that despite the tough measures the state government would also provide succour to affected traders to help them back on their feet.
