Lagos State Government has completed the Structural Stability Test, aimed at ascertaining the strength of the existing structures at Lekki Gardens in Eti-Osa Local Government.
Vanguard learned that test was completed on Thursday, barely a week after the government commenced the exercise.
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, had on March 15, directed that test be conducted on the structures and that the result would determine the fate of the structures.
Speaking exclusively to Vanguard on the collapsed building, Mr. Rasheed Balogun, an engineer and Acting General Manager of Lagos State Material Testing Laboratory, LSMTL, said the agency had completed the exercise.
According to him: “During the exercise, we did not only conduct pundit test, we also conducted geo-physical and geo-technical survey to confirm the condition of the soil to ascertain if it was good for such structure or not. The result of the test conducted on the existing structures will be known in one week after the completion of the exercise.”
