Lagos commissioner for information and strategy, Gbenga Omotoso has said the state government has not directed the demolition of the remaining two structures at the site of the collapsed building in Ikoyi.
The state government had inaugurated a panel to probe the collapse of the storey building.
In a statement on Wednesday, Omotosho said: “The Panel of Inquiry instituted into the collapse of the building has continued to sit, and an integrity test is yet to be conducted on the two buildings. It is, therefore, wrong to assert or speculate that the buildings will be demolished,”
“The operation at the site of the collapsed building continues. Vehicular movement around the site has been smooth, following the reopening of the road.
