LASG Seals Unapproved Buildings

Lagos State government has sealed sites where unapproved building constructions were going on in some parts of the State, particularly Lekki, Abule-Ado and Festac extension.

The move is in furtherance of the recently declared Zero-Tolerance on illegal building construction and building collapse by the State Govt.

The monitoring exercise which led to the discovery of the sites in Lekki, Abule-Ado and Festac at the weekend was embarked upon to assess the level of compliance to building regulations in these areas.

Speaking during the exercise, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Idris Salako said that the State Govt was determined to control physical development across the State.

He explained that owners of the sealed properties who were willing to conform to planning laws and regulations would be encouraged to regularise their properties.

Salako emphasised that the era of unplanned developments in which anyone could erect buildings without approved building plan and according to their fancy was over.

He urged Lagosians to cooperate with the Govt in its quest to achieve a safe, livable and secure physical environment through conformity with approved plans.
