The Nigerian Institute of Town Planners has asked the national assembly to amend the urban and regional planning Act to reflect current realities.
Atebije said the law needs to be amended because it does “not have sufficient provisions for effective enforcement”. He said the commission will “provide and implement national and regional development plans with a view to harmonising and efficiently harness resources of each geo-political zone and a national development framework”.
Atebije said the parliament should “make sufficient budgetary provisions for urgent and rigorous capacity building for town planners already in the establishment of public service to aid the performance of their jobs”.
