How to avoid building demolition in Lagos

The Lagos State Government recently reiterated its commitment to uniformly apply the law during a demolition exercise of unauthorized structures in Lekki Phase II and its surrounding areas.

One of the most awful events that can happen to anyone is investing millions in properties only for it to be demolished by the government later. This begs the question of why the government was watching while construction was going on and had to wait till it became something worthwhile before coming to destroy it.

One thing we should understand is that, there are some marked up areas and the government knows what they are doing. Unfortunately, land sellers are duly aware but they try very hard to shield you from this information because of the money they hope to gain from its sales. If you are a victim, I sympathize with you. In order not to fall victim again, I will highlight the things you should watch out for.
