The Lagos State Building Control Agency has embarked on public sensitisation to inform residents that all buildings in the state must have valid building approval plan.

Mr Olalekan Shodehinde, the General Manager, LASBCA, made this known during sensitisation through the Lagos metropolis of Yaba, Tejuosho and Oyingbo area of the state.

Shodehinde said that almost all the structures within the area which were initially for residential purposes had been converted to commercial purposes without requisite approval plan or due regularisation with the agency.

According to him, a total of 145 converted buildings were identified and served with the planning permit and post construction notices.

He said that a 14-day ultimatum had been given to the owners of the affected buildings to visit LABSCA district offices to do their regularisation.

“Virtually all buildings within this axis are initially for residential purposes, but have now been converted to commercial purposes without an approval of the agency.

“Many of structures do not have approval plan even at the inception of the buildings before their conversion, which implies they are illegal buildings from the beginning.

“Regularising the buildings on or before the 14 days grace will attract no penalty. But at expiration of the duration, LABSCA will come to completely seal the buildings,” Shodehinde said.

He, therefore, urged every owner/developer within the area, whose property was not covered by a planning permit, to regularise the property with the agency.

According to him, the regularisation and validation of buildings are necessary to avoid disruption of trading activities by the agency due to lack of building plan approval.

Ambode be careful

It's a good move, if Nigeria will ever be like Sweden and Norway, steps like this must be taken,

Converting a residential area to a business area is bad for development,

And the government is even lenient not threatening total pull down of the structures

Good. Let the right thing be done

Buy lands in Lagos at your own peril .. Igbo brothers shey una dey hear..My village first ooo. I cant buy properties outside Ebonyi state.

So since this has been happening the govt is just realizing or waking up from slumber to regularize or they just want to look for new ways to make revenue. Not all areas are strictly residential and such conversations may also be temporarily based on the tenant using it.

They can send their representatives with egunje and suya money, it will be accepted, money talks bulshit works

During his regime, Fashola after demolishing Igbo buildings and businesses, deported people from Lagos to Onitsha alleging they were beggars on the street. Today his boy is walking on his footstep. One Nigeria indeed.

If you need your building plans regularized by a qualified architect, contact: swissconceptsandesigns@gmail.com
Don't be caught with expensive fines.

Some goats will probably come here later to claim Ambode is targetting a tribe or that they were not notified before their buildings were pulled down

Smart advertising there

I see what you did

Ok

I believ this is a good move to checkmate the ridiculous rate of Building collapse in Nigeria, I stated this in this article https://www.nairaland.com/4466821/major-causes-building-collapse-nigeria
To avoid the hustle and tustle with Lagos state building approval agancies, Make sure every aspect of your building process is intact starting with Building designs and finally supervision by a competent building construction firm.
Check out the link below for directions to a building construction firm you can trust and avoid getting a letter from Lagos state building control agency.

Instead of Gov. Ambode to complete Ilubirin Estate abandoned more than 3 years ago, to ease housing problem. The main reason is Tejuosho market that nobody can afford.
