Not enough parking space (front of Building is Folagbade str.<br \/>\nSided by two (2) undeveloped streets which is being prepared by the Developers to be tarred to support parking while the empty piece of land at the back is being negotiated for lease to complement car parking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2. Inadequate Muster Point: Muster point is any space outside the building where people can gather in case of fire or emergency. There is ample space around the building that can be used as Muster Point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c3. Inadequate Airspace. This is a new one. But there is enough airspace as there is no single adjoining building around the 4 sides of the building. There is also no concrete fence but only metal grills to ensure proper airflow.<br \/>\nIt must be noted that there are other buildings with the vicinity that does not even come close in terms of compliance on safety matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these information are known by the relevant personnel of Government in ongoing discussions. 4. Notice of demolition by government: 3 days<\/p>\n<p>\u201c5. Demolition started 3am Sunday 10 September, 2023 and it is ongoing as we prepare this preliminary report. Building cost is around N1b.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the N1billion worth plaza is due for commissioning by September ending.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the third floor of the building houses the Ogun East Senatorial Office of the former governor.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel, popularly known as OGD, has personally visited the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Lekan Adeniran, said the government would soon issue a statement regarding the incident.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ogun State Government has reportedly commenced demolition of a 5-storey DATKEM plaza in Ijebu-Ode, owned by Yeye Olufunke Daniel, wife of former Governor, Senator Gbenga Daniel.
