Sanwo-Olu Approves ₦3 Billion Payout for 331 Residents Displaced by Lagos Road Projects

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu presented compensation cheques totaling ₦3 billion to 331 residents whose land and property were acquired for major road infrastructure schemes. He described the exercise as an act of justice rather than charity and stressed the government’s duty to balance development with respect for citizens’ rights. “This is not a favour; it is your right,” the governor said. Each claim went through a rigorous verification process, including professional valuation and ownership confirmation, to ensure genuine beneficiaries received fair payment without delay. Sanwo-Olu urged recipients to invest the funds productively and assured those still in the queue that genuine claimants would not be overlooked. He also warned against fraudulent claims and praised the Lands Bureau and other stakeholders for conducting the exercise with transparency and integrity.
