The Lagos State Government has advised real estate developers in the state to desist from cutting corners and ensure the right professionals undertake construction projects.
The General Manager, Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority, Kehinde Osinaike, said this in a statement on Wednesday.
Osinaike was quoted to have said this during a courtesy visit by members of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria to his office at Ikeja, emphasising the need to obtain land information on every property.
He said, “Developers must ensure that certified engineers and other relevant professionals are always available at construction sites to guide artisans appropriately against shoddy jobs. We should desist from cutting corners and ensure the right professionals, as well as materials, are used in all construction projects.
“We have this 10-day time-frame as a form of incentive to encourage applicants to come forward to obtain planning permits. However, we can only fulfil this pledge if all documents needed for processing the physical planning permit are submitted from the onset of application, and applicants have performed their civic responsibility of tax payment.”
The Chairman, REDAN, Mr Bamidele Onalaja, said the collaboration was needed in order to curb building collapse incidents in the state.
