The Lagos State Government has denied involvement in the recent demolition of structures on the Sixth Avenue, FESTAC Town.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, said this on Tuesday.
Olumide said that the state government had no hand in the demolitions and a clear process was taken before any structure was brought down.
He said that such process included giving all necessary notices and engaging with people who may be affected.
The commissioner urged all agencies, including federal ones, to always consult and get clearance from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development before carrying out any demolition.
“Any demolition done without proper authorisation does not represent the position of this administration,” he said.(NAN)
