LASG Suspends Planning Approvals For Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road

The Lagos State Government has declared an immediate halt to planning approvals along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road corridor.

In a statement released on Monday in Alausa, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, announced the decision.

Olumide explained that pausing planning approvals was essential to mitigate the project’s effects on the state’s Physical Development Plans for the region.

He noted that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project has notably disrupted the recently finalized Ode-Omi Action Area Plan, as well as the in-progress Ibeju-Lekki Model City Plan and Lekki Comprehensive Master Plan, which are at different stages of development.

“As a result of the effects of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road on our Development Plans, it is germane to review the situation on ground and align it with the Development Plans to forestall any further distortion now or in the nearest future.

“In this connection, it is equally important to temporarily suspend Planning Approvals in the axis until further notice, “ the commissioner said.

Olumide stressed that the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority has been instructed to enforce this suspension until further directives are issued.

He reaffirmed the state’s dedication to fostering an organized, livable, inclusive, and sustainable built environment, while expressing confidence that Lagos is strategically positioned to capitalize on the numerous advantages of the inter-state Coastal Highway.
