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.

1.3 Objective of the study

The aim of this study is to identify the major causes of building collapse in Nigeria and its implication to the stakeholders of the building process and the general public.

1.5 Research questions
