Physical planning commissioner resign amid collapsed building controversies
Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Idris Salako has resigned his appointment.
Mr Gbenga Omotoso, Commissioner for Information and Strategy who announced Salako’s resignation in Ikeja on Monday did not state the reason for his resignation.
But the state has been coping with scandals accompanying incidents of buildings collapsing since November.
The latest collapse was the seven-story structure under construction without a permit.
He stated, however, that the commissioner’s resignation was a prelude to the restructuring of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development and its agencies.
He added that Gov. Sanwo-Olu accepted the commissioner’s resignation, thanked him for his services to the state and wished him success in his future endeavours.
“The governor warns all players in the sector to respect the law or face the consequences of any indiscretion, no matter who the perpetrators are,’’ Omotoso stressed.
