ANOTHER BUILDING COLLAPSE IN LAGOS

PRESS RELEASE

Barely one- week after a building collapsed at freeman street, Lagos island which left 3 people dead including a 10 year old bo,Another three Storey Building collapsed again on Friday in Lagos.

Though the cause of the collapse is yet to be known,A 30-year old woman was rescued from the rubbles of the three – storey building located at no 95 Abeokuta street in Ebute Metta area of Lagos.

According to The Director General, Lagos state emergency management agency, LASEMA, Olufemi Oke-Osanyitolu , the agency received distress call on the building collapse at about 1.10pm on Friday and quickly mobilised emergency responders to the scene.

LASEMA Responders, and its Ambulance unit, Lagos state ambulance service, LASAMBUS, Lagos state building control agency, LASBCA, Material Testing Laboratory, the state’s fire service, and the Police, were joint responders at the scene of incident.

Search and Rescue operations have been concluded while LASEMA’s heavy duty equipment will continue with recovery and clearing operation until the collapsed building is reduced to ground zero level.

***In Another Development,The enforcement team of the Lagos State Physical Planning and Urban Development has shutdown 43 building, including 13 banks and 13 hotels on Lagos Airport Road.

The banks and others were said to have violated the physical planning law of Lagos State.

Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako, in a statement issued by Mukaila Sanusi, Assistant Director, Public Affairs, said that the buildings, most of which are in use, were either built without planning permit or built without conforming to their approval order.

He emphasised that the area being an international gateway to Lagos State must not be allowed to be defaced with illegal developments, stressing that all physical developments on Airport Road and other areas of the State must conform to the planning laws of the State.

“It is by enforcing strict compliance to laws and regulations that we can halt the pervasive incidence of illegal and unapproved buildings, protect the Operative Development Plans of Lagos State and sustain an orderly, organised and livable environment” he said.

Salako urged those buying or renting properties to ensure that such properties had planning permits and Certificate of Fitness for habitation in order to avoid their property being sealed.

The enforcement exercise is the continuation of the efforts commenced some weeks back to eliminate the menace of illegal buildings and sanitize the built environment of Lagos State.

The incidents of building collapse in Lagos has become very common raising cause for concerns and the need to ensure the property building procedure are followed in setting up structures across Lagos state

CLARIFICATION OF SOME MISLEADING REPORTS ABOUT LAGOS STATE COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH’S RECENT NEWS BRIEFING

25/07/20

[post-marguee]

DANIELS G O

PRESS RELEASE
On Thursday July 23, 2020, Lagos State Commissioner for Health Prof. Akin Abayomi, addressed a press conference where he spoke on several facets of the State’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the conference, he took questions.
But the attention of the government has been drawn to some reports in some platforms making it evident for more clarification for subsequent reporting of the Honourable Commissioner’s comments .
****The aspect that were incorrectly portrayed by some members of the press are:
the perceived inefficiencies in testing and reporting protocols: and
the cost of caring for patients in our isolation centres.
Testing protocols – The number of tests being conducted presently when compared to what we did in the early stages of the pandemic has shown incredibly significant growth.
Alongside that have come certain challenges. We are not where we want to be, but it would be unfair not to acknowledge the tremendous progress that has been made by the State. With rapid growth have come glitches, which we recognise and are striving to overcome.
Refining and improving on our testing protocols is a process rather than an event and we recognise the challenges and are actively engaged in addressing them.
Cost of Care –The Honourable Commissioner, in the interest of transparency, offered a window onto the economics of COVID-19 care and, regrettably, some Reporters misunderstood his comments. While we commend the role of the press in probing into the application of public funds, we look up to them to be balanced and accurate their reporting.
It is clear that N1,000,000 sounds more sensational than N100,000, but we must not allow sincerity to be sacrificed on the altar of sensationalism. What the Honourable Commissioner sought to communicate was the range of symptom manifestations of the Corona virus – from mild and moderate to severe and critical. He explained that the cost of treating these manifestations vary, considerably. In summary, he said this about the cost of COVID-19 care:
Every case is different and it is very difficult to calculate exactly how much managing a COVID-19 patient would cost, but what is clear to us is that when you add up the expenses of maintaining the facility, infrastructure, human resources, feeding and consumables, it costs the government approximately 100,000 naira per day for a non-complicated COVID-19 admission.
Of the 13,835 positive cases identified in Lagos thus far, about 18% equivalent to 2,490 have been admitted into the State’s isolation centres. Of all these patients admitted – about 7% were severe and 1% was critical; that is 8% of total admissions.
The Honourable Commissioner gave an indication of the considerations factored into the costing of intensive care, including ventilation, dialysis, intravenous antibiotics, oxygen and other high and intensive care requirements, depending on the complications of the case. He went on to estimate the cost of intensive care, which usually requires a longer period of admission, and may range between N500,000 to N1,000,000 per day.
Unfortunately, certain sections of the press chose to latch on to the figure of N1,000,000 and disregarded the painstaking context that had been provided by Prof. Abayomi. That figure was the upper end of a band and, just as importantly, it applied to no more than 200 out of 2,490 admissions, majority of whom recovered. That means the balance of 2,290 non complicated admissions each cost around N100,000 per day.
The Lagos State’s COVID-19 response cannot succeed without the active support and co-operation of the press and we continue to seek that support in the war against this Corona virus. We do not ask them to hide anything, but we do ask them to err on the side of full, fair and factual reporting.
Together we shall defeat this virus!
Signed
Gbenga Omotoso
Honourable Commissioner for Information and Strategy
