Dysfunctional Apparatus
Its sad to say that the Lagos State Government is doing a bad job in keeping its citizens safe.
The fact that the Safety Commission only cares about their pockets and not the safety of people living in the State is a known truth. The commission only awakens to its duty when there is a fire accident or when a building either collapses or sinks.
The recent sinking of a building in Adeniji Adele that claimed lives prompted the Commission to realise that some buildings might not be strong enough. The Apparatus now parades the streets sealing houses (including weak houses and houses that are perfectly okay) without prior notice to its residents.
The Landlords in turn either pay them to ignore their houses completely or renovate a part of the house and still pay them off to ignore the rest. Putting lives at stake and properties at a loss.
The irresponsibility of the Apparatus is so obvious that the public having seen them from afar is counting money to grease their palms with.
I'm just a concerned Lagosian scared for the safety of the people.
