Commissioner visits Magodo Wetland, Restates Zero-Tolerance for Illegal Property Development

Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako, on Tuesday, paid an official visit to the Magodo wetland for an on-the-spot assessment, just as he restated the State Government's zero-tolerance for illegal property development across the metropolis.

Speaking during the visit, Dr. Salako stated that the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, being responsible for the maintenance of an orderly, livable and sustainable environment in the State, would continue to implement the "zero tolerance" policy on all illegal physical developments, including the regrettable encroachment of the sensitive/ecological zones.

He noted that the visit to Magodo wetland became imperative as part of measures to preserve and prevent the misuse or abuse of all Greenbelts, Gorges, Water bodies, Wetlands and other vulnerable natural Landscapes in every part of the State.

Salako, therefore, assured Lagosians that the Ministry would continue to intensify efforts to enhance the sustainability of the environment by maintaining a diligent application of the State's policies and operational development plans.

During the visit, the Commissioner directed the sealing of all unapproved developments within the wetland zone, as well as buildings that exhibited clear signs of internal distress through tilting or cracks thereby raising questions about their structural stability.

Salako was accompanied on the visit by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Urban Development, Mr. Ganiyu Adele Ayuba; Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Arc. Foluso Adebayo Dipe; General Manager, Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority, Tpl. Funmi Oshifuye; General Manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency, Engr. Biola Kosegbe and General Manager, New Towns Development Authority, Tpl. Kunle Aboyeji.

Recall that the Lagos State Government had earlier decried the illegal and unapproved housing development along the Magodo greenbelt area of State.

Illegal Property Development

Hmm Developers and illegal stuff

Let's Stop the crime culture we can make it legally.

Change oh

Issoryt...Illegal structures and catchment without good drainage facilities fit cause flood

Person wey read and understand should pls explain to us oo

After selling land to them and excisiing it when they clearly knew it was a flood basin ..
The amount of Land Fraud backed up by the govt in Lagos is mind-boggling

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Only visit... No palliatives?

Haha! Are the commissioners still working?

80% of houses in Lagos didn't get any building approval they're just building anyhow.

Why did they first allow them to build?

In Nigeria, those in charge will just come and mark an already built house as an illegal structure, but where were they when the structure was being built?

What happened during foundation, fencing stages?

Before building,its important to get all your documents especially the building approval, architectural drawing, structural drawing etc.

Peace of mind that comes after getting this documents is priceless....

Contact us for genuine lands and houses within estates at various locations across Nigeria.

A slap to property developers in the axis. But if the commissioner is serious he shouldnt have sealed the buildings. He ought to have employed the Wike approach; demolish all the illegal and unapproved housing developments in the wetlands.

Take care
