Lagos State Government charges all allottees of state lands,
especially those within Victoria Island,
Ikoyi, Lekki 1 and 2 and Abijo Residential Schemes, to take physical possession
and develop the plots allocated to them on or before December 14, 2015.
According to Mr .Bode Agoro, the Permanent Secretary, Lands
Bureau,gave the directive on behalf of the state government, stated that it (the directive) is in line with the policy
thrust of the government in allocating lands to citizens in residential schemes
which is to assist them meet their desire of building houses of their own.
Agoro affirmed that the terms and conditions as stated in
the State Land Law, mandates allottees or holders of Right of Occupancy to
fully develop their plots within two years of allocation, which he said,
informed allocation of plots of lands on the schemes.
He gave assurance that building approval for those that are
ready to develop their plots or parcels of land in compliance with the
directive would be treated with utmost dispatch and urged affected persons to
act without delay.
Agoro decried the unwholesome activities of miscreants and
hoodlums who constitute threats to lives and properties of residents in those
areas, despite provision of infrastructure by the government, adding that
government would not fold its arms and continue to watch innocent citizens
suffer unduly. He however, advised the public to verify the status of any
landed property before consummating transaction and also obtain information
from the Office of the Surveyor-General as well as ensure proper validation of
Titles from the State Land Registry.

practice whereby some individuals, families and communities engage in illegal
sale of government acquired land.
