The Lagos State Government has given developers and occupants of structures within the Trade Fair Complex a two-week ultimatum to approach the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development to regularise the approval status of their buildings in line with extant regulations.
The senior special assistant to the governor on new media, Jubril Gawat shared the news on social media, stating that land ownership and title are not in contention at the Trade Fair Complex.
According to the statement, the ongoing enforcement focuses solely on the approval status of physical developments, as every structure in Lagos State MUST obtain a valid planning permit from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development in accordance with the law.
The statement follows outcry that greeted the state government’s action against illegal structures in the trade fair complex, Ojo.
