Collapsed Buildings: FG To Sanction Culprits
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern over the incessant building collapses across the country, warning that those responsible for such incidents of professional negligence will feel the full wrath of the law.
The President gave the warning when he received the leadership of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS), led by Mr Obafemi Onashile, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja yesterday
According to the president, the dark days of impunity are gone for good, assuring Nigerians that his administration will remain focused and committed to creating an inclusive and diversified economy.
He told members of the institute that the recent tragic incident in Lagos, and many other cities across the country, were reminder of the need to strictly adhere to quality standards on construction projects.
‘‘Young innocent lives must never be lost due to incompetence and greed. Simply put, no corners must be cut.
“I want to assure you that those responsible for such incidents of professional negligence will feel the full wrath of the law,’’ he said.
The President welcomed recommendations and suggestions from the institute on how to enhance the construction industry, directing that they make a formal submission to the Minister of Power, Works and Housing as soon as possible.
President Buhari, again, used the opportunity to thank Nigerians for clearly expressing their desire to move the nation forward.
‘‘Let me start by thanking you for your kind prayers,’’ the President told members of the Institute, who came to congratulate him on his re-election and pledge their solidarity with his administration.
“Nigerians have clearly spoken of their desire for the country to move forward. On our part, we remain committed to the Change Agenda,President Buhari added”.
