The Lagos State Government has noted that urbanisation and housing gaps, among others, are being used as a tool of exploitation by developers and property owners.

This was disclosed in Alausa recently by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, during a weekly briefing of senior management staff of the ministry.

Olumide said, “Urbanisation and population explosion had precipitated physical planning challenges, including housing gaps and planning infractions, as property owners and developers tried to exploit the gaps without doing due diligence with the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development before buying lands.

“However, it is disturbing to see people have their planning proposals turned down by the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority, LASPPPA, simply because of the inappropriateness of the proposed uses and similar planning requirements, which would have been resolved by making initial recourse to our planning information service.”
