The technical team led by the agency’s director, Search and Rescue, Usman Bature, arrived in Lagos on Wednesday night and proceeded to the incident site.
The directive followed safety concerns raised by structural experts after the fire incident at the 25-storey building.
He noted that recurring fire outbreaks in major commercial centres had become a growing threat to businesses.
LASEMA said emergency teams were working under challenging conditions because of the building’s height.
Emergency responders in Lagos are at the scene combating the fire but the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.
