The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has engaged a consultant to conduct an integrity test on a residential building that partially collapsed in Wuse 2, Abuja, to determine the cause of the incident and assess the stability of the remaining structure.
The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon at a residential development on Plot 496, Cadastral Zone A08, Wuse 2 District, with no casualty recorded.
The Department of Development Control of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC) disclosed this in a statement yesterday, adding that it had commenced the evacuation of debris from the affected site to ensure safety and facilitate further assessment.
The department said the integrity test would establish the possible cause of the partial collapse and determine whether the remaining structure was stable.

According to the department, further action on the affected building would be guided by the outcome of the technical assessment and recommendations of the professionals involved.
