Lagos Govt Disputes Obi's Claims on Trade Fair Demolition - Buildings Lacked Approval
The Lagos State Government refutes claims by Peter Obi regarding the demolition of buildings at the Trade Fair complex, asserting that the structures lacked valid approval. Obi's visit and comments on the demolished buildings were met with a response from the state Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, who clarified the situation.
The government had provided multiple opportunities for property owners to regularize their papers but faced non-compliance. The Trade Fair Complex Management Board, a federal agency, oversees commercial activities within the facility.
The government's actions were in response to non-compliance with planning regulations, emphasizing the importance of adhering to legal processes.
