Lagos State Government has scheduled the demolition of the distressed 25-storey GNI House, according to multiple sources. The building, located in the heart of the city, has been a subject of concern due to its reported structural instability. The exact date for the demolition has not been disclosed by the government. This decision comes after a series of incidents, including a fire outbreak in another 21-storey building in the state earlier this year. Residents of GNI House, many of whom are tenants, have been urged to vacate the building, but it is unclear how many have done so. The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LSBCA) has been tasked with overseeing the demolition and ensuring the safety of surrounding structures. This decision is expected to address the growing concern over the safety of high-rise buildings in the city, following a series of incidents in recent times. The government has not commented on whether it will provide support for displaced residents. This story is developing, and more details will be reported as they become available.
