Lagos commits to tackling illegal physical developments

The Lagos State government has reiterated commitment towards the implementation of its policy of zero tolerance to all illegal physical developments.

The State’s Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Idris Salako, who regretted encroachment on ecological zones in the state, said that the step was necessary to preserve and guide against the misuse/abuse of all greenbelts, gorges, water bodies, wetlands and other vulnerable natural landscapes.

He assured that the ministry is at the forefront of efforts to attain an orderly, organised, sustainable and livable environment by maintaining studious application of the state policies and operative development plans, especially at this period of global environmental challenges typified by the CoVID- 19 pandemic.
