The Lagos State Government has reiterated commitment to inclusive planning and ensuring that the Badagry Sub-Region Master Plan reflects the needs and aspirations of its stakeholders.
Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Oluyinka Olumide, stated this in a statement issued by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs Unit, Mr Mukaila Sanusi, on Monday, August 5, 2024, in Lagos.
According to the commissioner, the ministry is holding a stakeholders’ meeting on the review of the Badagry Sub-Region Master Plan on Aug. 8, at the Lagos State University, Ojo.
Olumide described the stakeholders’ engagement as an integral part of the plan preparation process in Lagos State as well as an avenue to promote inclusiveness and ownership.
“We are seeking first-hand information on action areas and proposals in the reviewed plan.
“Also, we aim to encourage stakeholders’ active participation in the upcoming meeting,” he said.
The commissioner emphasised the importance of stakeholders’ engagement in the planning process.
“In Lagos, we plan with the people and not just for the people. The review process has undergone various stages of engagement, aligning with the T.H.E.M.E.S. Agenda of Lagos State,” he said.
