Following the conclusion of the investigation, the Oyo State Government has committed to prosecute those responsible for the collapsed story building at Awosika, Bodija, Ibadan.
This was said by Mr. Olusegun Olayiwola, Commissioner for Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, during the State's delegation's visit to the site of the fallen building in Ibadan.
He criticised the workmanship of people hired by the property owner as well as the materials used at the site.
The Commissioner urged state people to always use professionals when starting a building project in order for those structures to withstand the test of time.
He maintained that the land allocated for the project is not suitable for the structures put in place, adding that the contractor also failed to follow the laid down procedures for constructing buildings in the state.
According to him: “This is a great loss but we thank God that no life was lost. The building is mightier than the land and materials used were not good enough.
“We are going to present our report to the Deputy Governor the moment we leave this place and adequate steps would be taken.
“The Oyo State Government is going to deal with the culprits accordingly, it is not even likely that the owner of the building will get this space again because the person has to undergo necessary procedures.”
