For contravening the physical planning regulations of Lagos State, owners of 45 buildings have received three days ultimatum from the state government to remove all illegal buildings.
This is contained in a statement on Monday by Mr Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, spokesman of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA).
“Most of the buildings have interlocking tiles erected across canals, and this is against the physical planning regulations of Lagos state.
“The owners of these structures are supposed to build according to the building plan approvals given to them,” he said.
Oki said that at the expiration of the three-day ultimatum and the illegal encroachments are not removed, the state government will take necessary actions against the owners of the structures, Environews reports.
He, therefore, appealed to Lagos residents to always follow proper procedure in building construction works and obtain planning permits from the state government.
