The Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban
Development has sealed 43 buildings on Airport Road.
The Commissioner of the ministry , Dr Idris Salako, while
supervising the exercise, said the buildings were sealed for violating the
physical planning laws, NAN reports.
Salako mentioned that most of the buildings affected,
including 13 banks and 13 hotels, were either built without planning permits or
conformity to approval orders.
According to him, the area is an international gateway to
Lagos State and therefore must not be defaced with illegal developments.
“It is by enforcing strict compliance to planning laws and
regulations that we can halt the pervasive incidence of illegal and unapproved
buildings, protect the Operative Development Plans of Lagos State,” he added.
Salako further advised those buying or renting property to
ensure that they obtain planning permits and Certificate of Fitness for
habitation in order to avoid being sealed.
