The minister stated this during a review meeting of recommendations of the ministry’s building collapse committee alongside regulatory bodies in the built environment.

A press statement signed by the Ministry’s Director, Information and Public Relations, Badamasi S. Haiba said to ensure proper investigation and prosecution of the Culprits, the minister also charged the Ministry’s Committee on building collapse to develop a checklist of professionals involved in the construction process in order to ease investigation and identifying the Culprits.

Dangiwa told the committee to come up with a checklist of things to observe during inspection or assessment of building collapse adding that there must be a column to apportion blame to who is culpable.

“Once there is a building collapse, we should immediately move there with our checklist, identify it and fill in. Once that is done, you can independently sit down and identify the culprit and support it with tangible evidence that this is the person that hasn’t done the correct thing, either the design had not been done or the professional not certified or development control has not given approval or supervision was not done by a professional and it was converted to different use”, he stated.
