The President, BSTAN GROUP, Dr. Becky Olubukola has identified Quality Control as a panacea to reduce the incidences of Building Collapse in the country.

Olubukola while speaking in Abuja on Friday at the signing of four new brand Ambassadors for BSTAN GROUP noted that quality control, regulations and right orientation for the public will reduce incidences of building collapses and housing deficit in the country.

According to Olubukola, regulatory agencies in the building and construction industry must ensure regulations and enforce sanctions to defaulters.

“For me it is about quality control, building what people can live in while thinking about yourself, the COREN and other regulatory agencies should come out with regulations that can stop the deficit in housing and collapse of structures”.

Olubukola further stated that people should be orientated and be abreast of information in building and construction so as not to fall victim of building collapse.

“People should also have orientation about building, when an engineer serve you a bill, negotiate, don’t say the Bill is too high and you give a bricklayer,

“it is for both parties as far as we need to put regulation and sanctions in the industry, there is also a need for the people of Nigeria to know the right thing about good building”.

Meanwhile, Olubukola urged the new ambassadors to be of goodwill and represent the standard and quality of BSTAN GROUP brand anywhere they go.

“For our newly appointed ambassadors, we are expecting goodwill, good information, spread good news and represent the quality and standard of BSTAN GROUP brand, give out information to people on how they can afford affordable homes”.
