The Lagos Government
has commenced the process of sealing 105 estates across the state.
The government said
those without approval from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban
Development would be affected.
In a public notice
published in two national dailies, Lagos government gave the estate owners and
developers 21-day ultimatum to tender all necessary documents to the office of
the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry.
It warned that
failure to so by March 9 will lead to sanctions.
A statement by the
ministry’s Assistant Director, Public Affairs, Mukaila Sanusi, explained that
the move was in furtherance of the quest for a functional, orderly,
well-organised and resilient smart city.
“Developers and
owners of estates are urged to comply with the directive, which was made in
accordance with relevant provisions of the Lagos State Government Notice No. 6
of 1983 on Guidelines for approval of layouts, otherwise estates that fail to
comply will be sealed in accordance with the law,” it read in part.
