TVC E, BUSINESS: Ogun State government has warned property developers against unapproved building plan, saying erring developers will not only pay a fine, the building will also be demolished.
It advised property developers to obtain building permit before making any change in the use of land, building and structure or converting same from its approved usage.
The Commissioner for Urban and Physical Planning, Bashorun Adetola Adeife, gave the warning after leading a team to seal some buildings in Ilaro and its environs in Ogun West Senatorial District.
He said the era of impunity was over as the government would not fold its arms and watch developers contravene the state’s Urban and Regional Planning law, adding that their actions could turn the environment into slums.
‘’I urge all developers to obtain their permit before embarking on any construction as this would enable the professionals in the Ministry to guide the developers to build in line with the Urban and Regional Planning law without altering the layouts and at the same time increase the government revenue,’’ Adeife said.
