“Lagos Unveils Ibeju-Lekki Draft City Plan: Public Feedback Period Starts Soon”
Lagos State has unveiled an exciting opportunity for residents and stakeholders to engage with the Ibeju-Lekki Model City Plan (2024-2044) through a one-week public review starting on February 26, 2025. The public inspection will run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. until March 4, 2025, providing the community a chance to review and contribute feedback on the 20-year development framework for the region.
The plan aims to guide sustainable growth and urban development, covering key areas such as infrastructure, land use, and urban planning. Lagos State’s Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, emphasized the importance of citizen involvement in shaping the final document.
In a statement by the Ministry’s Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Mukaila Sanusi, Olumide explained that the public review aligns with Lagos State’s commitment to citizen participation and global best practices in urban planning. “The process of public inspection ensures that the community’s needs are reflected in the final plan, promoting ownership and smooth implementation,” Olumide stated.
