LAGOS BEGINS INTEGRITY TESTS ON LEKKI GARDENS BUILDINGS

-          The Lagos State Govt. says stability tests on buildings constructed by the Lekki Gardens to ascertain their structural integrity have commenced.

-          A building constructed by Lekki Gardens had recently collapsed in the Lekki area, killing no fewer than 35 persons.

-          The state govt. had subsequently ordered that other buildings constructed by Lekki Gardens be made to undergo integrity tests to avoid another collapse.

-          The acting General Manager of the Lagos State Materials Testing Laboratory, Rasheed Balogun, says the tests will be conducted on some buildings without sending away the occupants in the Lekki Gardens Estate in order not to cause them discomfort.
