Why and how do buildings collapse in lagos (Emergency Response Guidelines for Building Collapse)
The rate at which some of the structures, some under construction, have been failing has become a great source of concern. Year-in year-out, building collapse is now a recurring phenomenon in Lagos, resulting in loss of lives and billions of Naira in investments. The collapse, on Monday, of a 21-storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos, followed by the collapse of another storey building in the Lekki-Ajah axis of the state the next day brought to the fore, again, the recurring, but the disturbing issue of building and structural collapse in the country.
