Amid public outcry over the planned demolition of buildings linked to former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the Ogun State Government has extended by two weeks the deadline for affected property owners and occupiers to submit their title documents.
In a statement issued today, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Tpl Olatunji Odunlami, said the extension was granted to give property owners and developers more time to either present their planning permits or approach the ministry to regularize unapproved developments.
According to Odunlami, the decision was taken in response to representations from a cross-section of affected owners in Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode, and reflects the government’s commitment to the rule of law and transparency.
He stressed, however, that the extension “does not derogate whatsoever from constitutional and statutory actions already carried out on the matter” and maintained that the ongoing physical development audit in Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode, and other parts of the state is “not a witch hunt of any individual or organization, but a continuous effort towards ensuring sustainable urban development across the state.”
According to the government, the property audit exercise, which has generated widespread debate, is part of the push to curb illegal developments and enforce compliance with town planning regulations.
