The Ogun State Government has extended by two weeks the deadline for property owners and occupiers affected by its ongoing physical development audit to present their title documents.

Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Olatunji Odunlami, announced the extension in a statement on Wednesday, saying it would give more time for compliance.

He explained that the decision followed appeals from affected persons and would allow property owners and developers to either present valid planning permits or approach the ministry and its agencies to regularise unapproved developments.

“This extension demonstrates the goodwill of the State Government in response to representations made by a cross-section of affected property owners in Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode,” Odunlami said.

He emphasised that the move reflects the government’s commitment to the rule of law and transparency, adding that it “does not in any way derogate from its constitutional and statutory actions already carried out on the matter.”

Reassuring residents, the commissioner stressed that the audit exercise—currently underway in Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode, and other parts of the state—is not targeted at any individual or organisation but is aimed at ensuring sustainable urban development across Ogun State.
