Accreditors’ Programme: Lagos govt begins application process 

Published by

The Lagos State Government has commenced the application process for its Certified Accreditors’ Programme (CAP)

CAP is a Public-Private Partnership initiative designed to strengthen the monitoring and inspection of building projects across the state.

According to the Director of Public Affairs at the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) Adu Ademuyiwa, through a statement shared on the agency’s X account, “the Expression of Interest (EOI) process for CAP is now open at LASBCA’s headquarters in GRA, Ikeja.”

Special Adviser to the Governor on eGIS and Urban Development, Dr. Olajide Babatunde, explained that the programme aimed to address limited government capacity by incorporating certified private professionals into the state’s building inspection framework.

The initiative is set to cover all 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos State.

“The CAP initiative ensures thorough evaluations and monitoring by certified professionals. Shortlisted accreditors will be selected based on their competence, experience, and understanding of local environments,” Babatunde said.

Selected professionals will be deployed across the state’s five divisions, conducting detailed monitoring and stage inspections of building projects. Their names will be published in the media to enhance transparency and public awareness.

“To ensure integrity and accountability, the programme will include unscheduled site visits and a whistleblowing mechanism. Violators of program regulations will face legal consequences,” Babatunde said.

“The initiative has been bolstered by the provision of 60 monitoring and inspection vehicles and the deployment of 67 additional police officers for enhanced security during operations,” General Manager of LASBCA. Arc. Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, noted.

One of the applicants, Engr. Wasiu Olokuola,  praised the government for the innovative initiative, pledging his commitment to achieving CAP’s objectives.

The CAP initiative underscores the Lagos State Government’s commitment to promoting safer building practices and enhancing regulatory oversight through strategic partnerships.
