The operation comes after the December 31, 2024, deadline, which was the final chance for property owners to regularize their building documentation.

In an official statement released on Monday, LASBCA emphasized that the demolitions are a direct response to non-compliance despite months of warnings.

“The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has commenced the removal of illegal structures across the state following the expiration of the amnesty period granted by the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu,” the statement read.

“The exercise began in Ogudu GRA, where officials of the Agency moved in to enforce compliance with the state’s urban planning regulations.”

Permanent Secretary of LASBCA, Arc. Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, underscored the necessity of the initiative, pointing to the risks posed by unapproved buildings.

“The government extended the amnesty period to December 31, 2024, giving owners of unapproved buildings sufficient time to regularize their documents,” Oki said.

“Despite multiple warnings and notices, some residents chose not to comply, leaving LASBCA with no choice but to take action.” He added that the demolitions aim to restore order to Lagos’ physical planning and reduce the threat of structural collapses, a recurring issue in the state.
