The Lagos State Government has declared the development of 176 estates in Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and other parts of the state illegal for failing to obtain mandatory layout approvals.
The Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
According to the statement, the government issued developers a 21-day ultimatum to begin the process of regularising their documentation or face sanctions.
It accused the estates of violating planning regulations by not securing layout approvals, which it said was a mandatory requirement for estate development in the state.
