The Lagos State Government on Monday announced via its official Twitter handle that it sealed more than 137 illegal buildings constructed across six district offices in the state.

The statement has it that the Monitoring and Compliance Unit of the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority carried out the exercise at different locations. The locations include Alimosho, Mosan Okunola, Egbe-Idimu, Ikotun, Igando, Agbado Oke-Odo and Ayobo-Ipaja.

The statement explained that the 137 properties were sealed because most of them were residential buildings that were illegally converted to commercial centers without approval.

The Tweet goes thus:

No fewer than 137 buildings were sealed last week by the Monitoring and Compliance Unit of Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority. The enforcement took place at six district offices, Alimosho, Mosan Okunola, Egbe- Idimu, Ikotun Igando, Agbado Oke-Odo and Ayobo-Ipaja.

Buildings that were sealed contravene the state physical planning regulation. The sealed buildings are mostly residential buildings that were converted into commercial use without recourse to physical planning permit laws.

Also sealed were industrial, institutional and commercial structures, which do not have planning permit. The authority advises property owners and developers in Lagos State to seek the input of professionals in engineering and building.
