The Ogun property audit deadline has been extended by two weeks, giving property owners more time to present their title documents. The audit, part of an ongoing compliance exercise by the Ogun State Government, is aimed at verifying building approvals and promoting sustainable urban development.
Among those affected is former governor and serving senator Gbenga Daniel, whose residence in Sagamu and hotels have been marked for demolition.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Tunji Odunlami, announced on Wednesday that the extension was in response to appeals from property owners in Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode. He urged owners to either present valid planning permits or regularise unapproved developments through the ministry.
“This extension demonstrates the goodwill of the state government and reflects its commitment to the rule of law and transparency,” Odunlami said.
Odunlami emphasised that the exercise is not a witch-hunt but part of the state’s long-term plan for sustainable real estate growth.
The extension comes after Senator Gbenga Daniel secured an ex parte order restraining the state from demolishing his properties, including Asoludero Court and Conference Hotels Limited.
Why This Matters for Investors
Real estate investors in Ogun — particularly in growth areas like Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode, and Abeokuta — should ensure all developments have approved planning permits to avoid penalties or demolition. Staying compliant not only protects property value but also improves long-term marketability.
