Lagos government seals over 20 Ikeja properties for planning violations
The Lagos State Government has sealed more than 20 properties in Ikeja Local Government Area over alleged violations of the state’s physical planning regulations.
The enforcement exercise was carried out by the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) as part of efforts to ensure compliance with planning laws and curb illegal developments across the state.
The affected properties include undeveloped plots, uncompleted buildings and structures with unauthorised extensions found to be in breach of the Lagos State Physical Planning Law. The exercise was led by the Permanent Secretary, Office of Physical Planning, Olayinka Wasiu, alongside the General Manager of LASPPPA, Kehinde Osinaike, and other officials.
Wasiu said the enforcement was aimed at preventing building collapse, promoting orderly urban development and ensuring strict adherence to the state’s planning regulations.
He urged property owners and developers to obtain the necessary planning permits and approvals before commencing construction or carrying out structural alterations, warning that the government would continue to enforce compliance with physical planning laws.
The state government reiterated its commitment to protecting lives and property through effective enforcement of planning regulations to ensure a safe and sustainable built environment across Lagos.
