Gbolahan Oki, the General Manager of LASBCA, made this announcement in a statement released on Tuesday, as conveyed by Segun Olaoye, the head of the agency’s Public Affairs Unit.

Oki emphasized the need to engage professionals, termed “Certified Accreditors,” to bolster the agency’s efforts in scrutinizing drawings, conducting stage inspections, and monitoring compliance with Lagos State Building Control Regulations.

This initiative aligns with the Lagos State Government’s commitment to fostering sustainability, resilience, and an attractive business environment through strategic urban development and planning.
