The Lagos State Government has sealed no fewer than 827 construction sites across the state in the last 12 months as part of intensified efforts to curb building collapses and enforce compliance with construction safety standards.

The government said the enforcement drive is part of a broader strategy to address the persistent challenge of building failures, particularly in informal settlements and unapproved developments where developers often operate outside established quality control procedures.
