September 05, (THEWILL) – Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Idris Salako, has resigned from his appointment.
The Commissioner for information and strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, confirmed this in a statement on Monday.
THEWILL reports that the resignation came amid incidents of frequent building collapse in the State.
The latest incident occurred on Sunday, September 4, 2022, involving a seven-story building under construction in the Oniru area of Victoria Island.
But the statement said Salako’s resignation was a prelude to the restructuring of the ministry, which supervises and approves property development and related issues in the state.
“The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has accepted the resignation of the commissioner for physical planning and urban development, Idris Salako.
“This is a prelude to the restructuring of the ministry and its agencies.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu thanks the commissioner for his services to the State and wishes 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”, Omotosho said in the statement.
