Thank you but I know little on road. I am an architect and my area of specialization is building houses.
A civil engineer may be of help.

IN VIEW OF CURRENT LAGOS STATE BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL PROCEDURES, THE C OF O NEED TO BE ATTACHED TO THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BEFORE ITS CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL TOGETHER WITH OTHER SILENT FACTORS.

ABOVE NOT WITHSTANDING, ONE SHOULD NOT ALLOW ACQUIRE LAND UN ATTENDED TO PRIOR TO ACTUAL BUILDING ESPECIALLY IN A COSMOPOLITAN CITY LIKE LAGOS WHERE CRIME AND OTHER SOCIAL ILLS ARE AT THE CLIMAX.

IT IS THEREFORE DESIRABLE AND PRECAUTIONARY THAT ONE NEED TO SHOW HIS PRESENCE ON THE LAND BY A GATED FENCE AND TEMPORARY STRUCTURES LIKE GATE HOUSE, FARMING ON THE LAND OR PLANTING OF ECONOMIC TREES AND ABOVE ALL FREQUENT VISIT TO THE SITE.

REGARDS.

Dear Emma,

I have been to your site and read the wonderful insights you have into building especially in Lagos and this is most appreciated. My concern is that in the nearest future, I am planning securing two plots of land on the Ikorodu sector. My question is judging by the rate problems develop over land, what do you advise should be the best approach to buying and conserving? Can I buy and then make my presence felt like fencing the land and probably building a boy’s quarter or I cannot do anything on the land till I get the certificate of occupancy? I will appreciate your advice.
