Lagos State Government has lifted the suspension order on granting planning permits for land extension at Banana Island and Osborne Foreshore Schemes.
The state’s Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako, who disclosed this in a statement, yesterday, said the lifting of the suspension was predicated on the projection of the new boundaries of 20-200 metres from the original boundary of the Banana Island and Foreshore Estate, and 100 metres from the original boundary of Osborne Foreshore Scheme I and II into the Lagos Lagoon.
He said: “I wish to convey the governor’s approval of lifting suspension on granting planning permits at Banana Island and Osborne Foreshore Schemes with immediate effect.’’
The commissioner said that the boundary adjustment was done with a view to achieving uniform boundaries, while the new boundaries must be supported with embankment and shoreline protection.
