The Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development has announced the immediate suspension of planning approvals along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development Olumide Oluyinka on Monday June 16th 2025.
Oluyinka noted that the suspension of planning approvals along the corridor was necessary to address the impacts of the project on the State’s Physical Development Plans in the area.
He explained that the project had significantly impacted the just concluded Ode-Omi Action Area Plan as well as the ongoing Ibeju-Lekki Model City Plan and Lekki Comprehensive Master Plan which are at various stages of preparation.
Oluyinka said it has become necessary to review the situation on ground and align it with the development plans to forestall further distortion now or in the nearest future.
He emphasised that the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority has been mandated to carry out the suspension order until it is directed otherwise.
He reaffirmed that the state government remained steadfast in its commitment to an organised livable inclusive and sustainable built environment to reap the many benefits of the inter-state coastal highway.
