About us

LSDPC at a Glance

The provision of modern housing schemes and the transformation of the slums and ghettos in Lagos dates back to 1928 when the Lagos Executive Development Board (L.E.D.B.) was inaugurated. Amongst other things, the L.E.D.B. was charged primarily with the task of getting rid of the filth and unhealthy living conditions which existed then in Lagos. The Board was also to transform the slum areas and ghettos into a planned and habitable environment.

Although, the Board was the sole executive authority for planning and development both in central Lagos and its environs, the maintenance of its constructed roads, drains and open spaces was the responsibility of the Lagos City Council. The vetting of building plans was also shared with the City Council, an awkward arrangement which often resulted in the delay of approval of building plans. The attendant frustration of private developers often times led to contravention of planning regulations by developers.
