The Lagos State Government has identified 176 illegal estate developments, predominantly located in the Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe axis of the state, and has given them a 21-day ultimatum to process their layout approvals.
These estates, deemed illegal due to their failure to obtain layout approvals from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, were listed in a document published by the Ministry on Monday.
According to a statement sent to journalists by the director of public affairs, Mukaila Sanusi, from the Permanent Secretary, Office of Physical Planning, Engr. Oluwole Sotire, the illegal estates compromised the sustainable development ethos and the T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda of the Lagos State Government by operating without approved layouts.
The identified illegal estates include Adron Homes, Elerangbe; Aina Gold Estate, Okun-Folu; Diamond Estate, Eputu; Prime Water View Garden, Ikate Elegushi; and Royal View Estate, Ikota, among others.
The government, however, gave the owners of these estates 21 days to submit the necessary documents to the office in the Ministry of Planning and Urban Development, Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, to process their layout approvals.
