The statement was released by the Ministry’s Assistant Director of Public Affairs, Adesile Rufai, on Monday.
Toriola was represented at the meeting by the Director of Legal Services in the ministry, Bukade Idowu Koya.
He urged residents to comply with the terms outlined in their letters of allocation, memoranda of understanding, and deed of sublease.
He stressed that adherence to these guidelines is a civic responsibility for all residents.
Toriola highlighted that following the rules is crucial for proper development, safety, and environmental preservation.
He added that compliance would also advance the government’s THEMES Plus Agenda, which aims to build a 21st Century economy supported by good governance and sustainable infrastructure.
Toriola assured the residents that the ministry’s technical and monitoring teams would conduct a joint inspection of the Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Estate.
He noted that the future condition of the estate depends largely on how well residents follow the established guidelines.
Rasidat Ogunlaja, Assistant Head of the Ministry’s Monitoring and Compliance Unit, outlined common infractions in some estates, such as repainting buildings without permission and failing to pay service charges.
Other violations include constructing unauthorized structures, converting residential units into shops or offices, creating environmental issues, and subletting properties without approval.
She emphasized the government’s zero tolerance for such actions, especially the misuse of open spaces or areas designated for other purposes.
Ogunlaja advised residents who have made unapproved changes to their buildings or used spaces improperly to visit the ministry’s office at Alausa, Ikeja, for regularization and necessary approvals.
