Sanwo-Olu expressed gratitude for his assistance and best wishes for his future endeavors.

The governor issued a warning to all participants in the industry to abide by the law or suffer the repercussions of any transgression.

Following several building collapses in Nigeria’s commercial center over the past few years, Salako resigns from her position.

The most recent took place early on Sunday in Oniru.
Two people are dead and others have not yet been located after a seven-story skyscraper under construction collapsed.

Speaking to the media, Salako implied that the developer was a strong man by mentioning how he repelled state agents during enforcement.
