The Lagos State Commissioner for Urban and Physical Planning Dr.Idris Salako has announced a directive by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to reclaim the encroached alignments of the Lekki Regional Road.
The State Government has also revoked the land titles and planning approval on sections of Elegushi Royal Family land.
According to Salako, the affected sections of the land fall within the designated Right-of-Way (RoW) of the road which is about to be constructed and the revocation is intended to remove all impediments to the ongoing construction.
Salako noted in his statement that the ministry is acting on the governor’s orders to remove all structures including private housing estates and shanties that encroach on the Right of Way, and directing the all cognate sections to cancel the planning approval on layout captured in the affected parts.
