Lagos seals 45 buildings over planning violations

The Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority, LASPPPA, has taken enforcement action against over 45 buildings in the Eko and Ifako-Ijaiye districts for violating physical planning regulations. The crackdown involved operations in Ifako-Ijaiye on Wednesday and Eko on Thursday. A recent statement on LASPPPA's Facebook page detailed that 25 properties were sealed in Ifako-Ijaiye for issues such as operating without valid permits, excessive building density, unauthorized remodeling, and deviations from approved plans.

The authority also sealed more than 20 buildings in Eko for similar infractions, including plan deviations and lack of necessary permits for remodeling and construction. Many property owners had received prior contravention notices but failed to rectify the issues. LASPPPA is urging affected owners and developers to visit their nearest district office or headquarters to rectify their documents and receive further guidance.
