The Lagos State Government has announced a one-week public review period for the draft Ibeju-Lekki Model City Plan (2024-2044), allowing residents and stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed 20-year development framework.
The consultation will run from February 26 to March 4, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, at designated locations across the state. The initiative aims to encourage public participation in shaping the final plan, which focuses on infrastructure, land use, and urban planning for the fast-growing Ibeju-Lekki district.
Encouraging Community Participation
Lagos Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, emphasized that the consultation aligns with the state’s commitment to citizen engagement and international best practices in urban planning.
“This public review process ensures that the final plan reflects the needs and aspirations of the community while fostering ownership and seamless implementation,” Olumide stated in a release by the ministry’s Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Mukaila Sanusi.
Where to Review and Submit Feedback
To enhance accessibility, the draft plan will be available for review at the following locations:
- The Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja
- Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Secretariat, Lekki
- Lekki Local Council Development Area Secretariat, Lekki
- Epe Local Government Secretariat, Epe

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to visit these locations to inspect the document and submit their suggestions.
Final Adoption and Implementation
Following the public review, the Lagos State Government will consolidate feedback before officially presenting the final Ibeju-Lekki Model City Plan on April 11 at the Lekki Local Council Development Area Hall.
This long-term development blueprint will serve as a roadmap for sustainable growth, structured urban expansion, and improved infrastructure in the Ibeju-Lekki region over the next two decades.
