THE GOVERNMENT SUSPENSION AND WHAT IT MEANS

The government has approved the implementation of the Structure and General Land Use Plan, as well as the Detailed Site Development Plan for Phase 5. Until this implementation is complete, all land transactions and developments in these areas are prohibited.
THE RISK OF BUYING IN PHASE 5
Despite this suspension, unscrupulous real estate vendors will attempt to sell off properties that sit directly on infrastructure corridors marked for demolition. Buyers who fall for these deals risk losing millions of naira when demolitions begin.
This is why the public is strongly warned: stay clear of land transactions in these corridors.
