Yetunde Onabule<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amid complaints trailing the Lagos State\u2019s urban development agenda, the government said it has paid about N8billion compensation, to individuals and groups whose properties were affected by key projects and development in the state in the last one-year through its Land Bureau Unit.<\/p>\n

Special Adviser to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Urban Development, Mrs. Yetunde Onabule, disclosed this at a One-Day seminar on, \u201cUrban Tinkers Campus-The City We Need\u201d denied that government forcefully evict people without taking into consideration their welfare.<\/p>\n

According to her, compensation<\/a> were paid promptly by the government on any land acquired by the government for public interest with presentation of all necessary documents by affected persons, group or organisation.<\/p>\n

She listed<\/a> the affected areas to include; the Abule-Egba link bridge, Oko Baba Sawmill relocation, Isale Igangan regeneration project, Olorunsogo Market, Mosafejo community and the Epe Phase I road expansion, among others.<\/p>\n

Onabule said that the government would consistently advocate for the titling of all lands in the state and urged the people to obtain governor\u2019s consent on subsequent transactions, regularise and register their titles with appropriate authority.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the liveable index number, which the state was ranked, the Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello said the state government is delighted to be one of the 74 Urban Thinkers Campuses worldwide.<\/p>\n

He said the development confers on the state the privileged of being one of the global centres providing a platform for stakeholders in sustainable urbanization to exchange ideas, forge partnerships and develop solution to the challenges of urbanization in contemporary modern cities
\n\u201cAs a mega and fast development city, Lagos State is strategically positioned to play a leading role in propelling development on the continent. Not only is Lagos the economic capital of Nigeria, it is the fifth largest economy and fastest growing city in Africa with population of over 22million people.<\/p>\n

The huge economic opportunity available in Lagos State makes it a major destination for prosperity seekers which translates into thousands of people migrating into the state on daily basis\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Anifowoshe Abiola lamented that the major challenge facing Lagos is the massive influx of people into the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis trend combined with the fact that one \u2013third of the world\u2019s population reside in slums, emphasizes the urgent need for high quality urban design and planning with effective implementation\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n
