 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 PHYSICAL PLANNING COMMISSIONER HIGHLIGHTS IMPORTANCE OF LAYOUT PLANS FOR ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS


The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide has emphasised the significance of layout plans for estate developments in Lagos State.


Speaking during a live chat on Radio Lagos 107.5 FM's Yoruba programme, "Ojutaiye" on Wednesday, Dr. Olumide explained that a layout plan was a crucial requirement for all land developments spanning 10,000 square metres or more.


He said that a layout plan served several purposes, including designating different land uses and allocating them to suitable areas, planning utility needs, such as power, water, and waste disposal as well as designing drainage networks to prevent flooding and creating road networks to ensure effective connectivity within the estate.


Dr. Olumide said that some developers exploit the housing shortage by flouting regulations, compromising communities' well-being and the State's vision of a livable, organised, and sustainable physical environment. 


He commended developers who have responded to the ministry's call to regularise their status, particularly those listed among the 176 estates without layout approvals.


On the amnesty programme for existing buildings without planning permits, Dr. Olumide offered hope to Lagosians, stating that the programme might be reintroduced soon, "Due to the success of the Amnesty Programme introduced last year with the gracious approval of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, we are strongly considering reintroducing the Programme for another three months", he said.


The Commissioner emphasised the importance of adhering to planning regulations to ensure sustainable and well-planned developments in Lagos State, highlighting the government's role in the built sector.
