Nigeria Institute of Town Planners Lament Lack of Urban Planning Law Implementation After 33 Years
The Nigeria Institute of Town Planners (NITP) expressed concerns over the non-implementation of urban planning laws in Nigeria, specifically the 1992 Urban and Regional Planning (URP) Law. Dr. Ogbonna Chime, the President of NITP, revealed the challenges faced in enforcing the law at a national colloquium in Abuja.
