The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has expressed his sympathy over Monday’s collapse of a 21-storey building situated on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State, which led to the loss of some lives.

Gbajabiamila, in a statement on Tuesday, consoled the families of the victims, noting that he shared in their grief.

He also sympathized with the government and people of Lagos State over the unfortunate incident.

The Speaker called for adequate measures to forestall future occurrence, while urging the relevant authorities to double their efforts at rescuing those trapped in the multi-storey building.

He added that it was unfortunate that the building collapse happened at a time the Lagos State Government was doing everything possible to make the lives of Lagosians safer.
