    LASG offers 15% discount on early 2025 land use payment

    The Lagos State Government has officially released the 2025 Land Use Charge (LUC) bill with 15 per cent discount for early payment.

    A statement signed by the Commissioner for Finance, Mr Abayomi Oluyomi, reaffirmed government’s commitment to continuous world-class infrastructure and service delivery to residents.

    The statement was made available to newsmen by Mr Adeleke Quadri, Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Finance, on Thursday in Lagos.

    Oluyomi urged property owners across the state to take advantage of the 15 per cent discount on their Land Use Charge by making early payments before the deadline.

    While reiterating the importance of Land Use Charge payment, he said it was a crucial revenue source that enabled government to maintain and improve essential public infrastructure.

    He listed some of the infrastructure to include roads, healthcare facilities, schools and security enhancements.

    Oluyomi listed landmark projects funded through taxpayers’ contributions to include the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT).

    “Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, remains steadfast in his vision of building a safe, livable and globally competitive megacity.

    “His administration continues to implement policies that drive sustainable development, attract investments and elevate Lagos to the ranks of the world’s most advanced cities.

    “This is a call to action for all property owners to support the Lagos State vision by fulfilling your civic duty and paying your Land Use Charge promptly.

    “Doing so, shows that you are contributing directly to the growth and development of a greater Lagos that we can all be proud of,” he said.

    He urged property owners to pay, using convenient platforms including Internet banking, Bank Deposits, Mobile Payment- through USSD codes, POS available at LUC offices and Lagos Online Assistant-(LOLA -Whatsapp Robotic payment platform).

    He added that property owners could also visit walk-in centres listed on the back of their bills for any inquiries or complaints.

    Oluyomi urged all property owners to take advantage of the 15 per cent discount by paying early and playing their part in making Lagos a modern, thriving metropolis.

  • LASG harps on safety in CNG vehicles adoption

    LASG harps on safety in CNG vehicles adoption

    Following the Federal Government’s drive on the need for citizens to move away from petrol usage to Compressed Natural Gas, the Lagos Safety Commission has urged Lagosians to embrace the initiative, noting it is safer and cost-effective.

    The commission, on Monday, also began a three-day training for Vehicle Inspection and Safety Commission Officers to orientate them on the CNG initiative.

    Speaking at the opening of the training program at Dover Hotel, Aromire, Ikeja, the Director General, of the Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola, stated that the adoption of CNG as an alternative fuel is the present administration’s resolve to embrace cleaner, safer, and more affordable energy.

    He said, “This is a follow-up to the state’s adoption of CNG buses and e-bikes into its transportation system, which is in tandem with the presidential initiative on energy transition to cleaner and alternative fuel, and as such, it is the function of the commission to train officials that will oversee these vehicles on the road, to ensure the safety of lives and public well-being.”

    In his opening remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, Sesan Ogundeko, maintained that CNG-powered vehicles would lower the cost of transportation, reduce carbon emissions, and improve air quality.

    He, however, advised stakeholders on the need for the availability of more CNG stations to enable accessibility.

    The Director and chief State Vehicle Inspection Officer, Akin-George Fashola, was represented by Gbenga Vaughan, and other officials.
