By Olatomiwa Osho

The Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), has sealed more than 20 properties in Ikeja Local Government Area over physical planning violations.

The enforcement, led by Permanent Secretary, Office of Physical Planning, Tpl. Olayinka Wasiu, and LASPPPA General Manager, Tpl. Kehinde Osinaike, affected landed properties, uncompleted buildings and structures with unauthorised extensions.

Wasiu said the action was aimed at preventing building collapse, promoting orderly development and ensuring compliance with planning laws.

He said contravention notices had earlier been served on the affected owners and urged property developers to obtain the required permits before starting any project or alteration.

Wasiu added that the ministry would continue monitoring and enforcement across the state to curb illegal developments and protect the built environment.
