LSDPC shuns Assembly order over compensation

Five years after the Lagos State House of Assembly passed a resolution asking  the  Lagos State Development and Property Corporation, LSDPC, to compensate occupants of Ogba Housing Estate, Sogunro Phase I, whose buildings  were demolished  by the state government, the agency is yet to comply.

But  the Assembly  has again mandated House Committee on Physical Planning and Urban Development to investigate the matter and report back to the House in two weeks.

It would be recalled that the House passed a resolution on January 6, 2013 to the agency repeating the order for it to compensate the occupants of blocks 17 and 18, LSDPC estate, Phase I, Ogba, Ikeja, who still have leasing rights of 60 -70 years.
