This building was pulled down few days ago in Banana Island by the Lagos State Government thru the Ministry of Physical Planning .... Will outline the offence(s) committed to see the seriousness of the State Govt & why this had to be done:
@jidesanwoolu @idreezsalako
THREAD 👇🏾
“The buildings that were pulled down is a peculiar case because the owner and developer could not provide approval and clearance to reclaimed land he got from the State Land Bureau and Ministry of Waterfront” - @idreezsalako
"They blew up their survey. This means more land metres were taken than what was given approval for. And the 30 metres set back the developer was to observe was not adhered to” - @idreezsalako
"The gradual take over of the waterways is a problem. In our master plan, the regional highway ought to pass through a route but there is gradual encroachment on the way” - @idreezsalako
"In terms of climate change, gradual reduction in the capacity of the lagoon to flow freely and the consequence the state would be made to grapple with in the future”
“If there is heavy down pour today, residents in Parkview Estate, on the other side of the lagoon would be in crisis because their community would be flooded. This is because people built beyond what was approved." - @idreezsalako
"Enough is enough. We cannot continue to fold our arms and watch the degradation of the environment and continued blockage of the water channels on the waterfronts” - Commissioner for Waterfront
“Banana Island has its own original boundaries. And those original boundaries are recognised and approved. So any development or reclamation beyond those original boundaries would not be allowed," - Commissioner for Waterfront
