Goodmorning house... so some days ago some people came to my site where construction is ongoing and said they came from Lagos state government building control agency and that we didn’t get a permit before starting the construction from the agency and now are asking for us to pay them a sum of #200000 , please I need your help here on what to do because this morning is too much and from what they said it isn’t even backed up by any receipt.
And the worst part is that the engineer didn’t even mention anything of such to me at the beginning of the construction , please what should I do ?

Stop construction for now.

Take all your approved drawings, go to Labsca office. Start the processing of your approval.

If you pay that bribe, you will continue paying because other agencies will still come.

Lagos State Safety whatever, another batch of LABSCA, also LASEPA will come.

If you are a novice I.e, if it's your first building, they will chop ya money o.. They will tell you that they should do the drawing and stamps for you ...

Dude if you get a visa to migrate to reasonable western country please do... The chances of success is higher compared to Nigeria. 1985 they asked Andrew not to checkout that Nigeria go better but unfortunately the country has degraded further since then.

Almost all smart Nigerian outside of this country are doing good and are contributing greatly to the economy of this country. Those that are not successful will not be even if you give them Dangote's wealth.

If u see visa go join them hustle.

Some so called 'engineers' are actually quacks.

Let me say this. You are not a lawyer just because you went to Unilag or OAU to study law. You must be called to Bar before being called a Lawyer. That is what is happening with the speaker of the LAHA. You are not an engineer because you graduated with HND or Bsc in any engineering related field, until you become a COREN certified. Anyone that studies Estate Management in the Higher institution is not an Estate Surveyor and Valuer, but a graduate of Estate Management. To become an Estate Surveyor and Valuer, you must be certified by RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors UK) or By ESVARBON (Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria)

You need to ask your engineer for his COREN certificate, otherwise he's just a graduate and not a professional.

Yes, you need approval before you can carryout any development in Lagos State, as dictated by the Urban and Regional Development Planning Law 2010.
For you to pull down a building, you must get approval. For you to construct, you need approval.

Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) is an enforcement agency under the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development of Lagos State. They are responsible for sealing up illegal development. Your development is illegal.

Illegal Development is described as any development without requisite approval from the MPPUD Lagos State.

But LABSCA does not have any write to demand such, unless the site is sealed and you're told to pay unsealing fee to LASG, which is N250,000. Not as bribe, but to be receipted.

Thanks for your concern....
I was only aware of the fact I was going to get an approval for the architectural and structural drawing which I couldn’t even get as the architect that did the drawing said an approval scheme hasn’t been set up yet for the site premises on which construction is ongoing , so this one came up as an entire news to me and the engineer even told me he isn’t aware though I intend to still see him this weekend to know why he wouldn’t tell me in the first place before he started construction.
But also I will need you to tell me what to do because I don’t intend to pay as much as this money they are asking for.
Thanks

But I have all my drawings and the architect made sure they are up to standard for approval when I need to make approval.

Why must he chat you up?
Why not advice him here so that all of us can learn!

@Donoppy, be careful about chatting people up privately o.Make sure to follow appropriate official channel because the short cut the bribe taker may offer you will definitely come back to hunt you!

There are quite a whole lot of ghost participants on this thread whose only aim is to look for desperate builders to scam.

Please be careful!
