The General Manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency, Adeigbe Olushola, has been sacked following the Lekki building collapse that killed 35 people last week. Also dismissed were the Head of Inspection and Quality Control in the agency, Adeoye Adeyemi; the Zonal District Officer in the agency, Dosunmu Gbadebo
The Zonal Head of Eti-Osa West of the agency, Mrs. Akinde Sherifat, was however, compulsorily retired from the civil service. They were dismissed after they were indicted for negligence, which is an act of misconduct under the Public Service Rule 040401.
