The Lagos State government has restated its plans to ensure the relocation of Computer Village from Otigba, Ikeja to Katangowa, another suburb of the state.

Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Wasiu Anifowoshe restate this in an official statement denying the state’s involvement with a construction firm, Master Realty International Concept Limited, allegedly claiming to have got approval to build an ICT specialized mall beside the new Ikeja Bus Terminal.

Anifowoshe said the state government had resolved to ensure the relocation of the Computer Village to free traffic and enhance the landscaping of that part of Ikeja.

“This information is false. The Lagos State government did not issue any permit to him because his plans are not in sync with the government’s regeneration plan. So, it is not possible for him to obtain approval from appropriate authorities,” said Anifowose.

“Government will not take it lightly with anyone caught attempting to disrupt the relocation plans of moving Computer Village from Ikeja to Katangowa,” added Anifowose even as he assured that officials of the state government had met with the executive members of Computer and Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN) of Computer Village to ensure all stakeholders are consulted in the relocation plans.”
