The Lagos State Government has issued contravention notices to 69 companies for encroaching on waterfront setbacks in Lekki Phase 1, as part of its efforts to regulate and protect the state’s waterfront corridor. Notable companies include Farm City, Jonah Court, DHL, and Polo Avenue.
The companies violated Lagos State Waterfront Law No. 3 of 2009, which ensures proper regulation and sustainable use of the state’s waterfront areas. The government has directed the affected companies to submit documentation authorizing their use of the waterfront setbacks, with non-compliance potentially leading to property sealing or demolition.
