Nigeria is experiencing a surge in building collapses, raising serious safety concerns, particularly in Lagos State. Experts attribute this alarming trend to widespread quackery within the construction industry, coupled with lax regulatory enforcement. Substandard building materials are also a significant contributor to the instability of structures. Data from the Building Collapse Prevention Guild confirms that collapses remain a major challenge. This lack of oversight transforms housing into a dangerous risk for residents. The situation demands urgent intervention to strengthen building regulations and ensure responsible construction practices to prevent further loss of life.
