Ogun State Government has extended the deadline for property owners/occupiers affected by the ongoing audit exercises to submit their title documents within the next two weeks.
The state Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Olatunji Odunlami, in a statement issued on Tuesday indicated that the extension of the deadline was aimed at giving property owners and developers more time to either present their planning permits or approach the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development and its agencies to regularize their unapproved developments.
According to him, the extension also demonstrates the state government’s goodwill in response to representations made by a cross-section of the affected property owners both in Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode and reflects its commitment to the rule of law and transparency.
He maintained that the government emphasized that this magnanimity does not derogate whatsoever from its constitutional and statutory actions already carried out on the matter.

Odunlami reiterated that the physical development audit exercise currently taking place in Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode, and other parts of the state was not a witch hunt of any individual or organization, but its continuous effort towards ensuring sustainable urban development across the state.
