Ogun Assembly Issues Strong Caution on Public Infrastructure Protection, Embraces Updated Planning Policies

Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Oludaisi Elemide, has admonished the public against the reckless disposal of waste and the inappropriate use of road edges for unloading construction materials, consequently obstructing the smooth flow of traffic.

The speaker issued this caution following a presentation by a member representing Sagamu II State Constituency, Ademola Adeniran, who highlighted instances of reckless placement of building materials on road edges by some residents in his constituency for several months, which have persistently created a disturbance for road users.

Adeniran, addressing a matter of urgent public concern during a plenary session, emphasized the necessity for prompt action to avert further deterioration of public infrastructure.

In a related matter, the State House of Assembly has approved a resolution endorsing the report from the House Committee on Lands and Housing regarding the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development’s updated regulations aimed at enhancing planning and development management statewide.

The updated regulations encompass the Ogun State Building Production Management Regulation, 2025; Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Regulation, 2025; Ogun State Slum Regeneration Regulation, 2025; Ogun State Outdoor Physical Furniture Regulation, 2025; and Ogun State Layout and Land Subdivision Regulation, 2025.

The approval of the resolution succeeded the endorsement of the House Committee report on Lands and Housing, introduced by the Chairman, Damilola Soneye, and endorsed by Lukman Adeleye. Subsequently, the House Leader, Yusuf Sheriff, proposed the motion for its endorsement as a House resolution, which was collectively upheld by all other legislators via a voice vote.

Following the endorsement, the Speaker instructed that a copy of the House resolution be sent to all pertinent authorities for necessary actions.
