With the incessant building collapse in the Nigeria, especially in Lagos, the Lagos state government is taking the problem very seriously through its agencies to curb the menace of building collapse in the state.

The Nigeria National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has being on rescue mission each time there is a collapse but the government is asking questions about the kind of jobs Engineers in the country are doing. Most of the times the collapse are as a result of inadequate building materials, incompetence of the contracting engineer, low quality building materials, etc.

The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and Council for the regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) should ensure that only qualified Engineers are registered and also Development Control Abuja to approve and monitor the kind of structure design contractors bring to them.
