In apparent response to a call by the Lagos state government, seeking solution to the menace of building collapse, and urging the public to submit memoranda in that respect, the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON), has urged relevant authorities in the country to adopt its initiative known as “Projects’ Registration Number (APRN)” system.
To ARCON, introduction of APRN would among other benefits, reduce the menace of building collapse in Nigeria.
President of the Council, Sir Dipo Ajayi, an architect, who said this to newsmen recently, was reacting to collapsed buildings in Lagos and other parts of the country. Tribune
