The Ogun State Government has extended the deadline for property owners/occupiers affected by the ongoing audit exercises to submit their title documents by two weeks.

This extension is 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 regularise their unapproved developments.

This extension is a demonstration of goodwill of the State Government in response to representations made by a cross section of the affected property owners both at Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode and in its commitment to the rule of law and transparency. The government emphasized that this magnanimity of government does not derogated whatsoever from its constitutional and statutory actions already carried out so far on the matter. Government again reiterated that the physical development audit exercise currently going on in Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode and daily elsewhere across the State is not a witch hunt of any individual or organization, but a continuous effort towards ensuring sustainable urban development across the state.

The State Government commended citizens who have made it a habit to operate within the confines of the Law and to encourage those who tend to exhibit contrary tendencies to obey the Law.
