Ogun State Government has warned prospective investors, companies, and individuals to desist from the unguided acquisition of lands that belong to the government, especially the 1.5-kilometer corridor on both sides of major roads.
The State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Town Planner Olatunji Odunlami who issued the warning in a statement made available to Edu-biznews on Monday, said that any development carried out within such locations must be in conformity with the approved land use or development scheme of the affected area.
Odunlami, listed the areas to include New Ijebu-Ode Mojoda (Epe) road, Sagamu–Abeokuta highway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Sagamu-Benin highway, Lagos–Abeokuta highway, Papalanto-Sagamu highway, the new Lagos-Ibadan rail line, and lands around the train stations.
The Commissioner advised those concerned to request for Planning Information on the government-approved use or zoning of any land they are interested in from the Ministry before acquiring such.
He added that “any proposal or intention to develop which is at variance with the approved land use of the area will not be considered for the grant of planning permit”.
Odunlami noted that any illegal development on such land stands a high risk of demolition.
