The Lagos State Government has declared 176 estates across Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe illegal for lacking proper building approvals.
The Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development has given developers a 21-day window to obtain layout approvals or risk government sealing off the properties.
Affected estates include Adron Homes, Lekki County, and Anchor. The Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) has condemned the move, accusing the government of acting in bad faith.
