The Lagos State Government has launched a crackdown on unauthorized estate developments in the Epe corridor. The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Oluyinka Olumide, announced this in a statement on Saturday.
Acting on the directive of the state executive council, Commissioner Olumide led a joint enforcement exercise on Thursday and Friday. The affected areas included Alaro City, Okorisan, Igbodu, Molajoye, Shaala, Ketu, and Epe.
Notices were served on various estate developments, including Patriot Bay Estate, Smart City Estate, the Legend, Hilton Royal Garden, Greenland Estate, Legacy City, Isinmi Lagos, Dominion City, Topview Estate, and Ibi Alafia.
Commissioner Olumide emphasized that erring developers must regularize their documents with relevant authorities. He stressed that no development should commence without proper permits, including layout approval, planning permit, and fencing permit.
These requirements are crucial for ensuring an organized, livable, and sustainable built environment. Layout approval ensures proper estate planning and infrastructure provision, while planning permits address individual plot requirements.
Olumide urged potential property buyers to exercise caution when investing in unapproved estates to avoid legal complications and government intervention. CONTINUE READING
