According to the General Manager of LASBCA, Arc. Gbolahan Oki, the move was in furtherance of the agency’s commitment to better service delivery and eliminating the activities of impostors in the sector.

Oki, who disclosed this recently in Ikeja, listed the upgraded Notices to include Contravention Notices, Stop Work Orders, Quit Notices, Demolition Notices and Seal-Up Notices.

He added that another Notice, which is the ‘Contravention Notices for Distressed Structures, has also been introduced specifically for distressed buildings in the state.

The LASBCA boss explained that the upgraded Notices have been designed with some security features including a Barcode which when scanned would authenticate the served Notice and the District it emanated from.

“The code on the Barcode is to ascertain that the Notice actually emanated from LASBCA. When scanned, it takes you to the LASBCA website and shows the District where the Notice emanated from,” Oki said.

“With this move, we will able to control unauthorised usage of LASBCA Notices because we discovered that all manners of people use our Notices and it is unacceptable to us.”
