LASG BEGINS REMOVAL OF ILLEGAL BUILDING EXTENSIONS, ATTACHMENTS IN TWO WEEKS
… Structures on Powerline and Pipeline RoW Inclusive
The Lagos State Government is set to commence the removal of illegal building attachments and conversion across the state, two weeks from now.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide in Alausa on Wednesday. He frowned at the unwholesome practice of illegally converting residential to commercial premises and unduly erecting attachments to buildings, saying that it was high time for sanity and orderliness to reign across the State.
He maintained that the State would not tolerate the spate of lawlessness witnessed in commercial centres such as Lagos Island, Ikeja and Iyana-Ipaja, where shops are illegally extended with sheds and steel external stairways in a bid to attract customers.
He gave a two-week ultimatum for owners of illegal extensions to remove them, failing which the State Government would commence statewide demolition of such structures, precisely on 15th February, starting from Lagos Island.
In the same vein, the Commissioner asked those who have erected structures within the Right of Way of powerlines, canals, and pipelines to prepare for massive enforcement by the Ministry in two weeks.
He stressed that the State Government would stop at nothing to ensure a livable and sustainable built environment.
