Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has presented land allocation letters to 98 indigenous communities within the Ito-Omu project area in Eti-Osa Local Government Area, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to integrating host communities into the state’s development plans.
The allocation covers Ito-Omu and adjoining communities along the Eti-Osa, Ibeju-Lekki and Epe growth corridor, as part of efforts by the government to secure land rights and promote orderly development in one of Lagos’ fastest-growing areas.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony on Wednesday, Sanwo-Olu described the initiative as a significant milestone in recognising communities with deep historical ties to the area.
“The future of Lagos cannot be built on unplanned expansion. It must be built on deliberate planning, appropriate infrastructure, secure communities and opportunities for our people to prosper,” he said.
