Oyo State Government Launches 60-Day Online Building Permit Amnesty Program
The Oyo State Government has launched a 60-day Online Building Permit Amnesty Program (OYBPA) to regularize buildings constructed without proper government approval. The program, which commenced on August 26, 2024, and ends on October 27, 2024, offers a 20% discounted rate for property owners to regularize their building permits.
Commissioner for Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, Mr. Williams Akin-Funmilayo, emphasized the importance of the scheme in enhancing urban planning, security, and safety. He encouraged property owners to take advantage of the online process, which ensures authenticity and prevents fraud.
The program excludes properties in unauthorized zones, court/financial crimes matters, and environmental hazards. Upon completion, an amnesty certificate will be issued, guaranteeing no further interference from authorities.
Stakeholders, including architects, engineers, draftsmen, surveyors, and town planners, attended the launch. The Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Mofoluke Adebiyi, highlighted the program's benefits in regularizing the database of properties and ensuring security across local governments.
Property owners are urged to seize this opportunity to regularize their buildings and enjoy the discounted rate. The OYBPA program aligns with Governor Seyi Makinde's transformation and sustainable development agenda, promising a seamless and worthwhile investment for the people of Oyo State.
