What if one decision could save your project from demolition or worse, legal shutdown? That is exactly the opportunity the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) is offering through its newly reintroduced Amnesty Programme — a limited-time window for owners of existing buildings without planning permits to regularise their properties without facing the usual penalties.

Understanding the LASPPPA Amnesty Programme

The Amnesty Programme provides a special 61-day window for property owners to obtain the necessary permits and documentation. The aim is simple:

  • Bring unregularised buildings into compliance
  • Reduce the risk of demolition and litigation
  • Improve the safety and integrity of Lagos built environment

Why It Matters — Beyond the Paperwork

This initiative touches every corner of Lagos construction ecosystem: homeowners protect their investment, developers de-risk their portfolios, and professionals gain clarity to advise clients with confidence.

What You Will Need to Apply

Applicants are generally required to present proof of ownership, architectural and structural drawings, and the relevant statutory fees.

We see this as a compliance lifeline and a chance to formalise Lagos building stock.

Nomarc Projects remains committed to empowering Africa construction ecosystem with digital insight, design intelligence and sustainable project delivery.
