The Digest:

Lagos State Government has demanded that 176 illegal estate developments regularize their layout approvals within 21 days. The estates, mainly in the rapidly growing areas of Eti-Osa, Ajah, and Lekki, face scrutiny for undermining sustainable urban planning.


Key Points:
  • 176 estates flagged for lacking mandatory layout approvals in Lagos.
  • Affected areas include Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe.
  • Estates listed after an extensive audit by the Ministry of Physical Planning.
  • Estates such as Adron Homes and Royal View Estate are affected.
  • Lagos aims for organized, safe urban growth aligned with the T.H.E.M.E.S+ agenda.
  • Developers given 21 days to submit documents to the Ministry.
  • The action targets developers not registered with the Lagos Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA).
