The Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), Lagos Chapter, has reiterated the commitment of its members to comply with various regulatory measures guiding the sector in the state. 

The Chairman REDAN and the CEO of Revolutionplus Properties, Dr. Bamidele Onalaja stated this recently in Lagos, during an award and recognition event.

According to him, “As the Chairman of REDAN Lagos and developers we reaffirm our support to the Lagos State government by providing housing for Lagosians and complying with all regulatory frameworks. We are happy that the GM of Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) said all our members comply with all the laws and regulations of the state.

“For REDAN members they comply because we have a compliance team that goes round to see what they do, look at their documents, approvals. Because if you are a REDAN member you must comply even before the government comes. We come for you.”

On whether its members are owners of buildings that are collapsing in the state, he said, “REDAN members and the government has a lot to do in that aspect. They should ensure that most developers join REDAN, which will make them easy to track and trace. For those that say they will not join, the government should be able to regulate, when you seal up a site, who opens it and who goes back there to open it for the developers?  So, they should train their staff to make sure that when a law is made nobody breaks it.”
