Laspppa Resumes Monitoring, Enforcement Exercise In Lagos

Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) has resumed its enforcement and monitoring exercise following the short break during the 2021 end of the year holiday and restated its determination to rid the State of illegal developments. The General Manager of LASPPA, Mr. Kehinde Osinaike, disclosed that the Authority has now extended the enforcement and monitoring exercise to the Oshodi area of the State following the conclusion of the exercise in Opebi/Allen axis of Ikeja. He explained that during the concluded exercise at Ikeja, property that violated the Town Planning Laws were sealed while buildings that were initially sealed but unlawfully unsealed without official authorisation were partially resealed, including shops on road setback.

Osinaike also avered that the Monitoring and Compliance Unit of the Agency had equally carried out an exercise in Eti-Osa, especially to check property that were sealed last year to ascertain if they have not been illegally unsealed by the owners.

“The Monitoring and Compliance Unit (MCU) will continue the exercise in Ajah axis to ensure that property along Lekki-Epe Expressway that have not regularised their developments from residential to commercial property were partially sealed to ensure compliance”, the General Manager asserted.
