176 Illegal Estates In Lagos Exposed, Govt Gives Ultimatum
The Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led Lagos State Government has exposed 176 illegal estate developments, predominantly located in the Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe axis of the state.
It was reports that the state government has also given them a 21-day ultimatum to process their layout approvals.
This was made known in a statement on Sunday signed by the Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mukaila Sanusi.
He said these estates, deemed illegal due to their failure to obtain layout approvals from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, were listed in a document published by the Ministry.
According to the Permanent Secretary, Office of Physical Planning, Oluwole Sotire, the illegal estates compromised the sustainable development ethos and the T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda of the Lagos State Government by operating without approved layouts.
He said, “The identified illegal estates include Adron Homes, Elerangbe; Aina Gold Estate, Okun-Folu; Diamond Estate, Eputu; Prime Water View Garden, Ikate Elegushi; and Royal View Estate, Ikota, among others.
“The Permanent Secretary has given the owners of these estates 21 days to submit the necessary documents to his office in the Ministry of Planning and Urban Development, Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, to process their layout approvals.
“That exercise is a routine function of the Ministry, in line with its mandate to regulate the development of public and private estates in Lagos State by processing and granting layout approvals to foster a functional, organised, orderly, and resilient smart city, as encapsulated in the T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda of the Lagos State Government.”

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday warned some Nigerian governors not to underestimate the opposition coalition platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), because some of them will be removed from power if care isn’t taken.
Primate Ayodele made it known that the coalition platform has the power to take over some seats in Nigeria, and governors must work very hard to ensure they retain their states.
In a statement by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the prophet made it known that some of the governors in Nigeria cannot win a re-election in 2027 except through rigging.
He said: “Some Nigerian governors will be removed from power by ADC if care isn’t taken; they will find it difficult to get a re-election in their respective offices. On a free and fair election, they won’t win; they can only rig.
“They should not underestimate the coalition platform; they may not see it now, but they must be very careful.”
It would be recalled that Primate Ayodele warned certain state governors two days ago about their re-election plans, stating that their bid isn’t certain and that only prayer can help them secure victory again.
“The governors of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Enugu, Cross River, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Ondo must work well to get a second term in office.
“It’s not certain for them except they work hard and pray. This is a hint of what they should expect.
“They need to work very well so that they won’t lose their second-term ambition,” he revealed.
