In addition, if you trespass into any of these property setbacks in Lagos, the government can always appear anytime to remove your buildings from the land. Therefore, before you buy or build a property along the coastline or beach, near canal, along a powerline or pipeline, you might have to think twice.

Recently, the Lagos state government via the ministry of works, have embarked on a demolition exercise. So, to avoid being a victim, it’s time you respect certain property setbacks in Lagos, set by the government.
