The Lagos State Government has warned that it will revoke home allocations of allottees who fail to comply with estate regulations in government-owned housing estates across the state.
This was disclosed in a statement on the government’s official X handle on Tuesday, following remarks made by the Commissioner for Housing, Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, during a monthly stakeholders’ forum and public enlightenment meeting held at the Sir Michael Otedola Housing Estate, Epe.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Engr. Abdulhafiz Toriola, the Commissioner, said the directive aims to ensure the well-being of residents and maintain the integrity of state-owned housing infrastructure.
“The Lagos State Government will revoke the home allocations of allottees who fail to comply with extant rules and regulations guiding the estates,” Akinderu-Fatai stated.
He emphasised that adherence to estate regulations, especially the payment of facility maintenance fees and insurance premiums, was crucial to sustaining the standard and quality of the estates.
Engr. Toriola cautioned against unauthorised structural alterations, modifications, or redesigns within the estates, saying such actions distort the master plan and attract sanctions.
He also warned that allottees who have not taken physical possession of their allocated apartments risk having their allocations withdrawn.
“The State Government’s intention is to provide homes for genuine residents in need of accommodation, not for property speculators,” he said.
