Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola has given Orji Kalu 14 days grace to pay up his land use charge, after the business man claimed that his Ikoyi home has been sealed off following a threat to sue the Lagos state government over an unrelated matter.
The Lagos state government was alerted on the misleading claim by Kalu in quick action stated that Kalu’s property in Park View Estate, Ikoyi was seized pursuant to Section 40 of the Revenue Administration Law of Lagos State for failure to pay the statutory annual land use charge despite three separate notices delivered to the said property.
In a statement released by the Aderemi Ibirogba, the Hon. Commissioner for Information and Strategy, state government expects that all residents of the Lagos are expected to follow the law and process and one of it is to discharge such responsibilities to the state, but on the part of Kalu, he has failed to do that.
Governor was alerted by the agency after sealing off Kalu’s Ikoyi home on Tuesday evening but the governor ordered that the property be unsealed and ordered the agency to give Kalu, an additional 14 days grace period be given to Kalu to pay the said charge.
