The Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, has called on residents to report any infractions related to physical development across the state.
In a statement released by Mukaila Sanusi, Deputy Director of Public Affairs at the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Olumide made the appeal during a strategic planning meeting held in Alausa on Wednesday.
“Proper planning cannot be achieved without the support and contributions of the people. This is why my doors are always open for Lagos residents to make their complaints, report any observed untoward developments, and contribute generally to the sustainable development of the state,” Dr. Olumide stated.
He assured residents of the ministry’s dedication to carrying out its regulatory duties impartially and called on them to help build a sustainable Lagos by promptly reporting any violations they encounter.
The Commissioner emphasized that ministry officials and agency staff had been directed to uphold integrity and avoid supporting illegal activities. He warned that any staff member found culpable would face strict disciplinary action in line with the state’s regulations.
Dr. Olumide also outlined several channels for reporting infractions, including direct reports to his office, the Lagos MPP&UD App available on Google Play and iOS, and the ministry’s hotlines: 07030653241 and 08034698264.
He further noted the importance of whistleblowers in achieving a livable, organized, and sustainable environment, assuring residents that such individuals are protected by the state.
