Overview
The Lagos State Government has officially sealed off two popular beach hangouts — Timeless Beach and Iceland Beach — citing multiple contravention offences and illegal encroachment on state-owned land.
The enforcement action was carried out on Monday by officials of the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development, as part of a larger operation to reclaim government-owned waterfront properties across the state. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking during a press briefing in Lagos, Commissioner Hon. Dayo Bush Alebiosu revealed that 180 additional structures in the Okun-Ajah, Eti-Osa axis were also sealed due to non-compliance with development regulations and outright disregard for land ownership laws.
According to Alebiosu, the developers involved were served multiple notices and summons, which they blatantly ignored, leaving the state government with no alternative but to enforce strict action.
“This continuous disregard for laid-down rules and rightful property ownership will not be tolerated. We made every effort to engage the affected parties, but their refusal to cooperate has left us no choice,” he stated.
