Lagos – The six-man tribunal set up by the Lagos State government on the 21-storey Ikoyi collapsed building has blamed the incident on the erosion of professional ethics and due diligence.

This is the hiligth of the tribunal’s report submitted to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in Lagos on Wednesday.

“Building collapse is rooted in the collapse of values, morals and ethics which we need to work on as a nation,” Tayo Ayinde, the Chairman of the tribunal stated in a statement he issued shortly after the submission of the report.

“We cannot sow the wind and not expect to reap the whirlwind.
“Therefore, ethics and due diligence need to be restored,” Ayinde said.

He said that the tribunal spent approximately six weeks to investigate and unravelled the remote and immediate causes of the collapse.

“To execute this assignment successfully, the tribunal visited the project site for a general assessment; coordinated activities of the consultants who conducted tests on the site; received and reviewed documents from relevant MDAs; conducted 35 interview sessions; interrogated 91 persons; requested and received a total of 21 memoranda; and accessed the home of the late C.E.O. of Fourscore Heights Limited, Mr. Olufemi Osibona, with a view to gathering any other useful/relevant information to support the tribunal’s fact-finding mission.

“The tribunal further received submissions from professional associations, groups and individuals that helped in formulating the recommendations proposed.

“The tribunal had the opportunity to access the home of the late CEO of Fourscore Heights Limited, in the presence of members of his family, where some documents that were scanned helped in gaining further insights into the case, particularly the processes that led to the construction and eventual collapse.

“The tribunal also hosted a representation of the developer’s company comprising two legal firms.

“It is on record that in their first and second appearances, the lawyers had expressed the fact that they were external lawyers to the company and had little knowledge about the case in hand.

“We were, however, later to receive a request from the same lawyers (five weeks after the collapse) to make an independent investigation in view of a suggestion, to them only, of possible sabotage.

“The tribunal was of the opinion that pursuing such a course was equal to mocking all of those who lost their lives in the collapsed building, and for which there had been no closure yet.

“The lawyers were advised to seek permission from the state authorities.

“We are, therefore, pleased to present to Mr. Governor the report of the inquiry carried out, containing the various findings, and the recommendations, which we hope the government would be able to implement in order to bring a lasting solution to building collapse, not only in Lagos State, but nationally.

“We, therefore, seek protection as members of this tribunal to be seen as having discharged this assignment to the best of our ability, without sentiments, and that we have acted based on the documents that were made available to us, as well as the information gathered from all the witnesses who appeared before the tribunal.”

It will be recalled that the 21-storey building under construction located on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, collapsed on November 4, killing at least 44 people.( vitalnews)
