The Lagos State Government announced its plan to commence the removal of illegal building attachments and conversions across the state. The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, expressed concern about the illegal practice of converting residential to commercial premises and erecting unauthorized attachments to buildings. He gave a two-week ultimatum for the owners of such illegal extensions to remove them voluntarily; otherwise, the government would begin statewide demolition starting from Lagos Island on 15th February. The Commissioner also warned against structures within the Right of Way of powerlines, canals, and pipelines, indicating imminent enforcement actions in two weeks.
