Stakeholders in Nigeria's built environment have called for stronger collaboration among government agencies, professionals, developers, communities, and residents to curb building collapse and make Lagos a more resilient city.

Otuoke noted that government, regulatory agencies, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, land surveyors, builders, developers, and communities all have clearly defined responsibilities.
