GhIE cite regulatory lapses for building collapses, push for stage-by-stage inspections

The Ghana Institution of Engineers (GhIE) has raised fresh concerns over what it describes as persistent regulatory failures and unsafe construction practices, following a series of building collapses across the country. The concerns come in the wake of a recent three-storey building collapse at the North Industrial Area in Accra, which reportedly claimed three lives and renewed national debate on construction standards and enforcement.
