With the publication in the official gazette, the plan officially started on September 1st with the council announcing "this was the culmination of a process that existed 13 years ago, when the city of Lagos saw its municipal master plan annulled."
The last plan was suspended due to a 1996 wrangle over some land which led to the plan for the entire municipality being suspended until now.
The new municipal plan was started 12 years ago and the final version was approved at a council assembly in June.
