UPDATE: The Lagos State Government has issued a suspension order on all approvals in respect of land extensions into the Lagoon at Banana Island and Osborne Foreshore, Ikoyi.

A statement jointly signed by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. @idreezsalako and his counterpart in the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development,  Arc. Kabiru Ahmed Abdullahi, noted that there has been increasing and continuing degradation of the Lagos shoreline as a result of indiscriminate illegal dredging, reclamation and land extensions into the Lagos Lagoon.

The statement said, “Of particular concern to the State Government are the extensions being illegally carried out at Banana Island and Osborne Foreshore, Ikoyi”, pointing out that such land reclamation and extension activities had resulted in gross violation of the Physical Planning Laws of the State and impinged on the ecosystem of the entire area.

The Commissioners maintained that the indiscriminate illegal proliferation of dredging and reclamation practices had occasioned serious distortion in the aesthetics of the shoreline with high potential for causing environmental degradation capable of producing dire consequences if unchecked.

“Government hereby  suspends all existing, pending and subsequent approvals in respect of all Land Extensions into the Lagoon at Banana Island and Osborne Foreshore, Ikoyi”, the statement said.

The Lagos State Government also ordered the immediate cessation of all ongoing works, construction, reclamation and other similar activities in respect of extension approvals granted or being processed at Banana Island and Osborne Foreshore, Ikoyi.

Members of the public have been advised to comply forthwith with the Stop Work/Suspension Orders or risk facing criminal charges and the confiscation of their dredging equipment by the government.

Urban planning department in lagos are clearly not in existence. People just build wat they feel like and where they feel like. Too bad for a mega city.

Was in VI last week, interlocked roads, clean street but fvcked up drainage system. Was suprised to still see street and roads with open drinage. With wat i saw small rain everywhere go cast.

The city can do better sha.

Who wants to bet that people will need to pay for a 'license' to continue dredging?

Perhaps paid to Oga's ABC company.
