It is not limited to Banana Island alone; it is a statewide enforcement programme but we are starting from that area.”page on Friday, adding that the exercise would engender livable and sustainable environment in the state.
“The Lagos State Government, on Thursday, sealed 19 additional buildings in the highbrow Banana Island, Ikoyi. The figure brings the total number of property sealed in the axis for lack of building permit and other infractions of the physical planning law to 34 since the commencement of the exercise on Wednesday,” the post read.All rights reserved.
