The announcement, signed by Engr. Oluwole Sotire, the Permanent Secretary of the Office of Physical Planning, warns developers, real estate agents, and the general public that any estate development without the required approval is in violation of the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law 2019.

 

According to the notice, these unauthorized developments contravene the T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda of the state government, which promotes a functional, resilient, and organized smart city. The statement emphasizes that such illegal estates pose risks to sustainable urban growth, infrastructure planning, and proper service delivery.

 

The Ministry also urges all developers and real estate practitioners to register with the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA), the regulatory body responsible for monitoring and coordinating real estate activities in Lagos.

Amen Estate Phase 2, Eleko, Ibeju-Lekki L.G.A
