By Tochukwu Ezukanma ACCORDING to the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, 54 buildings collapsed in Nigeria within a period of five years (between 2012 and 2016). This is an average of more than ten buildings collapsing every year, which is by whatever standard, unnervingly excessive.

As usual, the tragedy spawned emotive responses and solicitous visits by high-level government officials. In his response, President Muhammadu Buhari expressed his distress and commiserated with the affected families. The governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, visited the site, lamented the tragedy, condoled with the bereaved families,
