Alao, the National Secretary, Society of Landscape Architects of Nigeria , made the call in an interview with Newsmen on Friday in Lagos.
“A lot of things are wrong with the Nigerian construction industry, everybody has this fault, from the manufacturers, to the clients, the engineers and the marketers. “The Federal Ministry of Works and Housing should be charged with the responsibility of implementing and enforcing the Nigerian building code.
“Following most building collapse in the country, engineers have always had the bulk of the blame for either structural designs or low quality materials, but it is high time we sanctioned the importers of inferior building materials. “In most building collapse, the client/owner of the building should be held responsible also, the engineers may complain about the quality of the building materials and the clients insist they go ahead.
“Nigeria can get building construction right with plenty of research, for instance, the oldest storey building in Badagry, we have others also at Calabar and the first suspended floor in Lokoja.
vanguardngr Is there diligent enforcement of anything in Nigeria? From the situation of our roads and electricity alone, one should be able to tell.
