The Lagos State Government has issued warnings to demolish 280 illegal structures in the Mayegun Waterfront Scheme, Eti Osa Local Government area, to prevent slum formation, masterplan distortion, and coastal erosion. Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Ekundayo Alebiosu, disclosed this in a statement.

Alebiosu stated that notices were served to property owners and occupiers, requiring them to provide relevant documentation within seven days. The properties, including completed and undeveloped lands, lacked government authorization.

The Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development conducted a technical assessment, finding the structures illegal. Alebiosu advised property owners to remove their structures voluntarily or regularize their documents to avoid penalties.

The state government is also addressing encroachment at the Okun Ajah Waterfront Scheme. Alebiosu emphasized that the government will no longer tolerate encroachment on government properties and land.

The move aims to maintain the Lagos State Waterfront Schemes and enforce adherence to the state’s masterplan.

Key concerns:

  • Prevention of slum formation
  • Protection of coastal areas from erosion
  • Enforcement of government masterplan
  • Removal of illegal structures
  • Regularization of property documents

The Lagos State Government’s efforts seek to ensure orderly development and safeguard public interests.
