Sanwo-Olu reinstates Oki as LASBCA general manager

 Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reinstated Mr. Gbolahan Oki as the General Manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA).

Oki’s reinstatement was announced in a statement signed by the Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola on Thursday.

The LASBCA boss had earlier been suspended on November 1, 2021, following the collapse of a 21-storey high-rise building along Gerrard Road in Ikoyi.

According to the head of service, Oki was cleared by the Administrative Personnel Management Board (Disciplinary Committee) constituted in accordance with extant laws to determine the level of involvement and culpability of Lagos State government officials.

“Muri-Okunola recalled that the committee investigated the role of Arc, Oki and other civil servants in the unfortunate incident, stating, however, that the work of the Disciplinary Committee is still ongoing to probe into the different roles played by other officers involved and their culpability.

“The Head of Service gave an assurance that the findings of the panel would be made public on the completion of its assignment.

 “Mr. Oki has since resumed at his duty post,” the statement read.
