Residents
of 1004 flats in Victoria Island, Lagos are set to meet to pay their
outstanding Land Use Act (LAU) to the appropriate authorities so as to
forestall an indefinite closure of the estate as threatened by the state
government.
According to a source among the management cadre in the estate who
spoke with Saturday Tribune under a condition of anonymity, modalities
are being put in place so as to ensure that all necessary charges are
paid.
The source revealed that soon after the debacle that occurred earlier
in the week, which made the gates of the estate to be shut for several
hours by officials of the state Ministry of Finance, the management of
the estate had swung into action so as to ensure that the grace giving
them to pay the outstanding LUC was not wasted.
It is recalled that on Monday week, officials of the state Ministry
of Finance sealed off the 1004 estate for about five hours, locking out
residents and visitors, as well as trapping some others inside the
estate, because of outstanding 2011 and 2012 LAU. However, after an
agreement was reached, the gates were opened to traffic.
