The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has constituted a committee to study the provisions of the law, with the aim of setting up an urban and regional planning commission at the federal level, the President, Town Planners Registration Council, Prof. Lai Egunjobi, has said.<\/p>\n

Egunjobi, who made this known at the 2017 Annual General Meeting of the Association of Town Planning Consultants of Nigeria in Lagos, said the minister’s interest in physical planning was a good development for the profession.<\/p>\n

He said the committee would also review the law in relation to a court case between Lagos State and the Federal Government on physical planning some years ago. Egunjobi noted that planning had been neglected for a long time because the government lacked the political will required to implement planning laws. He stated, “In Nigeria, planning is relatively new compared to other built environment professions.<\/p>
