President Bola Tinubu has ordered the immediate revocation of approvals and licenses granted for unauthorised islands and developments on federal road setbacks and infrastructure corridors in Lagos.
The President made this announcement last Thursday during the official commissioning of the Lekki Deep Sea Port Access Road.
On May 20, SaharaReporters exclusively reported that federal investigators had uncovered what appears to be one of the largest land racketeering and money laundering schemes, involving the Lagos State Government and some federal officials.
Tinubu cautioned state governors against issuing licenses for such projects without involving the federal government, saying, “I’ve directed the Honourable Minister of Works to work with the Surveyor General of the Federation and all the state governors.”
