Lagos orders Project Information Board display by contractors

By Evelyn Usman

Lagos State government at the weekend, directed  that henceforth ,  all ongoing construction works or telecommunication infrastructure works  must have  a Project Information Board  displayed on site, with a view to indicating the contractor involved.

The directive as contained in a press statement issued by the General Manager , Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency ,  LASIMRA Mr Babajide Odekunle , took effect from January 1, 2016.

Odekunle explained that the directive was aimed among other things, to curb illegal erection and encroachment on government facilities by contractors and also to ensure that public roads were not opened up without proper permit from LASIMRA.

The concerned telecommunication infrastructure to be displayed on site according to him, included  towers , masts, base stations, parabolic antennae as well  as tar cut for fibre optic cables.

Consequently, he said;  “All construction activities must ensure compliance with this directive by reverting to the LASIMRA  office.”
