He stated that the Consultant, Messrs.Dar-Al-Handasah, adopted a participatory procedure in preparing the Plan to make it the outcome of different levels of stakeholders' involvement.

On his part, the Chairman, House Committee on Physical Planning and Urban Development, Hon. Sylvester Ogunkelu urged Lagos Island indigenes to give their support to the enactment of the Model City Plan, which is expected to give a facelift to the Lagos Island environment.


The Special Adviser on e-GIS and Urban Development, Dr.Olajide Babatunde noted that planning for the future development of Lagos Island was essential as planning was universal and dynamic.
