Lagos urges Property Owners To Renovate Building

By Mohammed Adekola

Lagos State Government has called on property owners across the state to undertake external renovations of their buildings to improve the overall visual appeal of the city.

The call was made Yesterday, Tuesday 24th of June in Alausa by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Oluyinka Olumide.

Dr Olumide emphasized the importance of cultivating a habit of routine property maintenance, encouraging Lagosians to invest in building enhancements such as repainting, facade upgrades, and general refurbishments. He noted that such efforts align with the Greater Lagos vision and the government’s T.H.E.M.E.S.+ development agenda.

He appealed to owners of buildings located along major highways and prominent roads to make building renewal a consistent practice.

“We implore property owners, especially those with buildings on major highways such as Ikorodu Road, Agege Motorway, Ahmadu Bello Way, Adeola Odeku Street, Lagos-Abeokuta Motorway, Herbert Macaulay Way, and Murtala Muhammed Way, among others, to take heed and undertake the much-needed face-lift of their building facade and thereby support the ‘Making Lagos A 21st Century Economy’ vision of the State Government,” he added
