As a fall out of the explosion that rocked Abule Ado area of Lagos on Sunday, March 15, 2020, the Federal Government has initiated moves to take over the area from Lagos State Government.
According to a monitored report from the media, this was disclosed by, Umar Saliu Buntu, the acting Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) during a visit on Tuesday, to the site of the explosion, which claimed about 17 lives.
