Synagogue building had no govt approval, Fashola visits site

Nigeria Informer : Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola today visited the site of the collapsed building inside the Synagogue Church of All Nations premises in Ikotun. He commiserated with the founder and forerunner of the church, Prophet T.B Joshua and also gave an order that all church workers should stop working on the site so that the officials of the Nigerian Emergency Management Authority can work effectively.

Meanwhile, the Lagos state Commissioner for Physical planning, Mr Toyin Ayinde, has revealed that the five-storey structure had no government approval for its construction.

Speaking to newsmen at the site today, the state Commissioner said records in his office shows that no permit was handed to the civil engineers for the building to be erected but that he was awaiting the church engineers to present the building permit they have to erect the collapsed building.
