The Lagos State Government on Monday last week appealed to property owners affected by the ongoing removal of structures on the Right of Way of road expansion projects in various areas of the State to submit the relevant documents that will ease processing and payment of compensation dues to affected owners of such properties saying prompt submission will enable the present administration to fulfill its obligations to the affected Stakeholders.
The affected areas include road projects along Igbe/Igbogbo/Bola Ahmed Tinubu Road; Agric-Isawo Road both in Ikorodu Local Government Area; Agege-Pen Cinema and adjoining roads in Agege Local Government Area and Murtala Mohammed Airport Road at Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area of the State.
A statement issued by the State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Rotimi Ogunleye said the Lagos State Government is presently collating and assessing documents already submitted but observed that some affected property owners are yet to submit their papers.
According to him, government is concerned that affected owners at Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road, in particular have not turned in their documents and he therefore appeal to all that are yet to submit in any of the project areas to immediately submit their planning documents such as Certified Registered Title Document of Properties within the said Right of Way, Approved Building Plan Permit for the affected structures and any other relevant document such as registered Survey Plan as Proof of Ownership to the office of the Hon. Commissioner, Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development at Block 15, The Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja to ensure the speedy processing of compensation.
What this implies is that owners of affected buildings/structures that does not possess any of the mentioned documents is not legally entitled to receive any compensation, now imagine the great loss probably due to negligence of the property owner in getting necessary documents on the property or ignorance as some are not truly aware of documents required to have on their landed properties. That is the more reason our firm always implore our clients and every property owner to get required documents on their properties. Now the state government has given opportunity to property owners that does not have approved building approval to do so from 1st March, 2018 till August, 2018 without paying penalty.
