The Lagos State Government has listed 176 illegal estates without layout approvals in its domains.
It issued a 21-day ultimatum to their developers and promoters to regularise their operations by obtaining proper layout approvals.
In a public notice posted on its official Facebook page on Monday, the government listed prominent estates as among those operating without approved layouts from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
The notice said the listed estates are without Layout approvals and are deemed illegal and compromising the Sustainable Lagos ethos of the State Government.
The listed estates include Adron Homes, Victory Park Estate, Aina Gold Estate (Okun-Folu), Diamond Estate (Eputu), Prime Water View Garden (Ikate Elegushi), and Royal View Estate (Ikota)
The affected developments are predominantly located in the Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe axes of the state.
Oluwole Sotire, the Permanent Secretary of the Office of Physical Planning, said the action is in line with the states commitment to ensuring sustainable development and upholding the T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Agenda.
According to Mr Sotire, unregulated estate developments compromise urban planning standards and pose risks to the states vision of a resilient smart city.
He directed all identified estate developers to submit the necessary documentation to the ministry at the Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja, within 21 days for processing of layout approvals.
This exercise is a statutory responsibility of the Ministry to regulate the development of public and private estates in Lagos, Mr Sotire stated.
We aim to foster a functional and orderly urban environment as captured under the T.H.E.M.E.S Plus development agenda.
He also reiterated the importance of all developers registering with the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA), which oversees and monitors real estate activities in the state.

The latest action follows a crackdown in April when the state government clamped down on multiple illegal estate developments in the Epe corridor .
Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Oluyinka Olumide, led a special joint task force to the area, based on the directive of the State Executive Council.
Estates affected during that operation included Patriot Bay Estate, Smart City Estate, The Legend, Hilton Royal Garden, Greenland Estate, Legacy City, Isinmi Lagos, Dominion City, Topview Estate, and Ibi Alafia.
Mr Olumide said notices were served on developers who had commenced construction without securing the required layout approvals, planning permits, and fencing permits.
No developer is permitted to begin estate development without first obtaining the necessary approvals, he warned. These documents are essential to ensure that estates are properly planned and supported with the necessary infrastructure.
He added that layout approvals help determine appropriate spatial arrangements within estates, while planning permits are required for individual plots.
Failure to comply, he said, could lead to demolitions, especially in cases where developments encroach on committed lands.
Mr Olumide also advised prospective property buyers to verify the approval status of estates before investing, noting that those who purchase property in unapproved estates risk losing their investments.
To help developers and buyers avoid regulatory issues, the Commissioner urged them to use the Planning Information service of the ministry, which provides detailed zoning information and approval orders for all areas in the state.
The Permanent Secretary, Mr Sotire, further assured developers that ministry staff members were available to assist them through the approval process.
Also speaking, the General Manager of the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), Kehinde Oshinaike, urged property owners and developers with unapproved existing buildings to take advantage of the ongoing 90-day amnesty period to regularise their developments by obtaining planning permits.
