Ogun Assembly warns against damage to public infrastructure, adopts revised planning regulations
Speaker Urges Public to Avoid Illegal Dumping in Ogun State
Ogun State House of Assembly Speaker Oludaisi Elemide has issued a warning to the public against the indiscriminate dumping of waste and the unauthorized use of road shoulders for construction materials, actions that impede traffic flow.
Elemide’s remarks followed a presentation by Ademola Adeniran, the representative for Sagamu II State Constituency. During a recent plenary session, Adeniran highlighted ongoing instances of residents dumping building materials on road shoulders, a situation that has become a significant nuisance for motorists.
Adeniran emphasized the urgent need for action to protect public infrastructure, noting that these practices damage roads, obstruct maintenance efforts, and disrupt traffic in the affected areas.
In a related development, the Ogun State House of Assembly has passed a resolution adopting the report of the House Committee on Lands and Housing. This report outlines updated regulations from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development aimed at enhancing planning and development control across the state.
The revised regulations include 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 resolution passed after being presented by House Committee Chairman Damilola Soneye and seconded by Lukman Adeleye. Following this, House Leader Yusuf Sheriff moved for its adoption, which was unanimously supported by lawmakers through a voice vote.
Following the resolution’s passage, Speaker Elemide directed that copies be sent to relevant authorities for implementation.
