The agency’s General Manager, Gbolahan Oki, made this vow during a press briefing with journalists on Friday. In his words “My duty is for any property without a building plan approval, of which I would have to serve all the necessary notices, and once these notices are served without anyone providing a document to that effect means that property is an illegal structure. Nigeria seems to have a problem with always constructing illegal structures knowing fully well they are wrong and might be probed later on.🤦🏻
