The Government has set up a five-man panel to investigate the ugly occurrence that claimed over 20 lives.

The panel is to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the incident.

Ogunleye in a tweet on Thursday, said the terms of reference of the panel included proffering remedial measures to stem further building collapse in the future, as well as determining the level of negligence on the part of the developer or owner and the role of the state government.

He also asked the panel to recommend measures that would guarantee quality service to forestall incidents of building collapse in the State.

The commissioner gave assurance that the recommendations would be appraised for implementation by the state government to stem the tide of such occurrences in future.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the panel, a retired Permanent Secretary in Lagos State, Wasiu Olokunola, gave the assurance that the panel would do a thorough job as the members have the requisite experience in the building industry.
