The Federal Government has vowed to prosecute developers found responsible for the collapse of buildings in the country.

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development Ahmed Dangiwa made this declaration during a review meeting with regulatory bodies in the built environment on Friday.
Nigeria has witnessed series of building collapses in recent years resulting in the loss of lives and properties.
According to reports over 100 buildings have collapsed in the country since 2010 with the most recent incident occurring in Plateau State and Abuja last month.

Dangiwa charged the ministry’s committee on building collapse to develop a checklist of professionals involved in the construction process to ease investigation and identify culprits.
