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.
The 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 in Lagos.
According to the commissioner, we are holding a stakeholders’ meeting on the review of the Badagry Sub-Region Master Plan coming up on Aug. 8, at Buba Marwa Auditorium, Lagos State University, Ojo.
Olumide said that the stakeholders’ engagement was 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.
