OWNERS/DEVELOPERS ARE WARNED FROM ATTACKING LASPPPA OFFICIALS

The Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) has warned Property Owners, Developers, and Residents across the State to stop attacking, assaulting, and harassing its officials carrying out their legitimate duties of sealing structures without required permits or that did not comply with the Planning Permits granted to them as stipulated by the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Laws. Tpl. Kehinde Osinaike, the General Manager of LASPPPA, stated that the recent attacks on some of its officials during an enforcement exercise were unwarranted and illegal, and represent a setback for the safe and orderly environment that the State hopes to achieve through the implementation of Planning Permit Laws. Osinaike asked members of the public to always comply with LASPPPA officials during enforcement and compliance exercises, while stating that any future attack on authorities would be dealt with an appropriate official response, including prosecution. Before any subsequent enforcement actions by the Monitoring and Compliance Unit of the Authority, he recommended Property Owners and Developers to always visit the District Offices that serve them notifications to rectify any element in which they are in violation of Planning Permit Laws.
