Lagos begins removal of dangerous communication masts
She said that the state had removed 16 of the hollow masts and was giving time to some companies, who had written for extension of time to replace the masts with the recommended hot galvanised steel masts.
“We are targeting the hollow masts, there is particular specification that Lagos State has given. “When your mast does not meet the standard, we advise the owners to relocate because all these masts have telecommunication equipment on them and then, we do not want to disrupt organisation’s work because they are using it for operations.
“Lagos State has abolished hollow masts for hot galvanised steel,” she said.
“The enforcement was on and several organisations were complying.”
Oni listed ongoing projects to include network audit of underground utilities, enumeration, site inspection and standard compliance of surface communications infrastructure, among others.
