Lagos State Government (LASG) through the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with eTranzact, a foremost Fintech Company, to curb unregulated development, manage setbacks and open spaces and improve beautification of the environment in Lagos State.

The Memorandum of Understanding will strengthen the partnership between Lagos State Planning and Environmental Monitoring Authority (LASPEMA) and eTranzact, to sanitise and regulate activities of setbacks and Incidental Open Spaces (IOS) and ensure physical orderliness in Lagos State.

With its MoU with the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, eTranzact, will deploy an integrated technology solution for data collection, management, and digitization of revenue collection processes from the informal business players operating on the setbacks and Incidental Open Spaces (IOS) in Lagos State to regulate setbacks/IOS and enhance the State Internally Generated Revenue.

The MoU was signed by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Engr. Omotayo Bamgbose-Martins, who was represented by Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on e-GIS and Planning Matters, Dr. Olajide Babatunde and Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr. Oluwole Sotire, who signed on behalf of the government and the Managing Director of eTranzact, Mr. Niyi Toluwalope and Group Head, Legal of eTranzact, Ms. Eme Godwin, who signed for the Fintech company.

Speaking during the signing of the MoU held at the State Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja, Dr. Babatunde said the initiative was a public-private partnership that would yield a good result hence the need to take care of the environment.

He said the MoU is for accountability and in the interest of the general public in Lagos State, as well as improving the IGR of Lagos State.

Also speaking, the Managing Director of eTransact, Mr. Niyi Toluwalope, said his organization is partnering with Lagos State Government for social development, noting that the project would develop solutions on data, enumeration, reordering setbacks, putting incidental open spaces in an orderly manner, among other benefits.

He said: “eTranzact is a premier technology solutions company in Nigeria. Today we are partnering with the Lagos State Government and LASPEMA for the enumeration and data management of the occupants of the setbacks and incidental open spaces within the City. We are licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to provide this service.

“The Lagos State Government has taken this laudable initiative to identify the setbacks, enumerate the people on these setbacks, do the necessary data capture, and manage the entire setback infrastructure in the State so that it is structured; following the proper model for setbacks, improves beautification, improves transparency within the environment and ensures that our critical urban infrastructure is well laid out properly to ensure Lagos functions as a major critical landmark with global recognition.

“We are committed to partnering with the State government to build a beautiful and prosperous Smart City for all. As Nigeria’s Super Fintech Choice, eTranzact is committed to providing payment technology support for all public and private stakeholders.”

Also speaking, the General Manager of LASPEMA, TPL Daisi Oso said the agency was saddled with addressing challenges that were associated with managing and regulating all activities on setbacks so as to ensure orderliness while leveraging technology.

He said the agency is saddled with the deployment of drones for mappings, collaborating with other ministries, departments, and agencies on urban development to improve security and order in the use of land in tandem with the state’s developmental plans to enhance social and political sustainability of businesses.

Oso also disclosed that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a bid to further align the LASPEMA’s mandate with the incumbent administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda graciously approved the partnership and the pilot project of some selected areas in Lagos State.

Ftc

Great!
Ndi Anambra would not like this.

Wow! Did you see the other thread of how PDP Swept Delta without anything for Elupee? Indigenous People have woken up everywhere and would never again allow the evil greedy Souls to use sugar-coated Deception Backdoor to Politically Enslave them on their Fatherland. Watch how they accuse those indigenous Tribes that resisted their evil Plan, and call them Tribalists, Rascals, Corrupt, etc. They have mastered how to Whitewash themselves as Angelic Saints and call those that become Wiser than them evil.

Yorubas at home and abroad should wake up and Write Daily too. Let the senseless ipob people home and abroad that have been using wicked Narrative to get USA Government Attention know that You are more better at Incriminating Obi and getting the International Community to ban him from ever stepping into any of their Countries. I trust Yorubas, unless they are never Ready to pay you back in your own Coin. Once they are tired of your nosense and wickedness, you are done for!

Yoruba and Northern Youths at Home should also start more severe daily Counter Protests as Fulanis did when these same Senseless Igbos rose up against Buhari's Swearing in 2015. After watching and discovering that the demonic envious Igbos are hellbent on getting USA, etc to work againt Buhari's Swearing, the Fualnis, Hausas plus some Yorubas Youths that supported Buhari started Violent Counter Protests too. The Merciless Blows and Heavy Slaps landed on Charlie Boy and others protesting in Abuja then, just like the recently Igbo Celebrities too, made him to scamper blindly as he rushed for Bike to flee from Wuse Market. The Superior Wickedness unleashed on them sent shivers down their spineless spines like the Operation Python Dance, they shocked back to reality. That was the last day they ever protested or their celebrity write Petition against Buhari. The Igbos that were for so long crying more than the bereaved Jonathan SS got their sense Reset to Factory Setting instantly.

Southern Southerners, Fualnis, Yorubas, Hausas, the Shetima Kanuri Youths and every other Supporters of Tinubu's Victory as President must Rise up immediately to give the rabid myopic incorrigibly Sad Souls called Igbos same Treatment because that is the only Language they ever understand as they are always Permanently blinded with their Demonic Greed and Cancerous Envy until the People they are trying to Prevent from Greatness rise up against them with Superior Ferocity. Q.E.D.

Some people won't like this news... Those from the dent camp. Anyways, we move ⏩ Lagos na wa own, our government is working ✅✅

Tuwale for men wey sabi 🙋🙋🙋

That's good.
Effect of good leadership.

Ok

As an Urban Planner, this is a welcome development.

#GreaterLagosRising.

Lagos leads.
God bless Asiwaju's masterpiece and help him transmit same towards development of Nigeria.

Incidental Open Spaces (IOS) , android nko. it is when they want to embezzle money they use all this big grammar

That's awesome


I wish Babajide Sanwo-Olu well in his second tenure as Lagos State Governor...

A Better Lagos State is a Better Nigeria.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..........
This story is very nebulous and cloudy.
Without sounding too cynical,the incurable optimist I'm,this report is missing a lot of details.
What concerns a fintech with capturing data on a set back,or does set back have another meaning ni.
I saw something about using drones to capture data,another statement on generating more IGR on set backs, seriously this is very very confusing.
If the report was limited to the fintech beautifing the setback in Lagos state,it would have been a wonderful report,but generating IGR,now that's a red flag.
A set back is basically the space between where the road is located and where you should site your property,it's usually 5m as required by the Law,now my confusion,is the government trying to encourage people to start building commercial properties on the setback or want to start taxing all those little kiosks especially the many make shift mobile operators who dot all the open spaces in Lagos.
I really hope this is not another backyard tax the Lagos State government is trying to introduce with this agreement it just signed.
Like I said I'm an incurable optimist not a critic.
God bless Nigeria.......

The only thing sanwo thinks about is how can I task these people more. It's very bad. The Indigenes are feeling these more.

This is why Lagos keeps getting better.

By the way etranzact is owned by an Igbo man Valentine. I met him many years ago when he was designing the Nigeria Stock Exchange website. A fine gentleman. Etranzact has not moved as fast as some companies that came long after it such as Flutterwave and Paystack ; this is almost certainly down to its shareholding structure and the fear of dilution. However kudos to them and kudos to LASG for showing that it works with the best irrespective of where they come from. Igbo people should be assured that in Lagos as in New York or London, the only enemy you can ever have is yourself.

Well done LASG

Well done etranzact

useless government

What make UK and US developed? taxes is part of their development

You can't have a develop Lagos without paying taxes.

This tax system is unrealistic. You need to look at the numbers. Tax is not the only means of generating revenue for a responsible govt. Also most taxes goes to social welfare.

And how did Buhari's government the Igbos tried to prevent turn out to be?

You guys don't learn...

which tax is unrealistic ?

go to Europe and know what unrealistic taxes is, For every dollar you make the government have their percent.

How many parts of the country are even paying taxes ?

As long as Lagos economy is vibrant enough it is a very realistic tax. Lagos have the best economy in Nigeria and the culture of paying taxes must be inculcate in the people for it to developed not be like every other parts of the country where people hardly pay taxes. If you can't cope you can move away, people just want to make money in Lagos without contributing to the development of the state.

You think you will make that much money in your business or job if you are not in Lagos or Abuja ?

For Lagos to move forward the taxes are important and necessary, what you guys should be crying about is accountability for the taxes not reduction of taxes.

You want Lagos to be as developed as London, Texas, even Journesbourg but you don't want to pay the same taxes like people that lives and work in those cities.
