THE ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES IN MINIMIZING BUILDING COLLAPSE IN NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Incidences of building collapse in Nigeria are posing serious challenges to all the stakeholders in the building industry- building consultants, governments, developers, landlords and users. Typical examples of collapsed buildings are listed in Tables 1,11, 111. Others include collapse of Multi-Storey Building in Mokola, Ibadan,Oyo State (1974), building under construction at Benjamin Opara Street, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, (2006) and many others. (Olagunji et al, 2013). On the Night of November, 2012, an uncompleted 3 storey building collapsed in a water logged area of Owerri during a heavy downpour. Fake cement was used, supervised by a chemist! On May, 15th, a 4 storey building under construction collapsed in Agbama Estate in Umuahia killing undisclosed number of squatters under the floors. Investigation revealed that building regulations permit a maximum of 2 floors in the area. On 5th September, 2013, a 4 storey building under construction, collapsed at 24 Obanye Street in Onitsha, during a downpour.
1.2 Statement of the problem
Causes of building collapse are traceable to many factors. Firstly, buildings collapse due to human errors such as faulty design, faulty construction, and use of substandard building materials, negligence, omissions, ignorance, quackery, corruption and sabotage. The second factor is natural occurrence such as flood, earthquakes, heavy wind e.t.c.
