The Lagos State Government has restated its commitment to restoring Government Residential Schemes to their original plans with the commencement of week-long monitoring and enforcement exercise in Lekki Peninsula Scheme I and Magodo Residential Schemes I and II.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako, in a statement, stated that Government Schemes ought to remain residential with provision for services but the schemes had been bastardised by indiscriminate conversion of buildings from residential to commercial.

He added that if the lawlessness in these estates were allowed to go on, the future would spell doom for the carefully designed upper-income residential schemes, noting that well-meaning residents had inundated the state government with complaints and sought redress.
Salako recalled that the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development had extensively engaged and dialogued with residents of the Estates with a view to righting the wrongs.
The commissioner emphasised that indiscriminate conversion of Government Schemes from Residential to Commercial would not be tolerated in Lagos State and urged those liable for any unlawful conversion to brace up for the Ministry’s enforcement activities.
