ABOUT MPPUD LAGOS
Office of Physical Planning is one of the two arms of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development created in January 2024 to oversee formulation of urban and regional planning policies and strategies, preparation of physical development plans, grant of development permits and engagement of stakeholders to achieve resilient and sustainable Lagos megacity.
The Office was created alongside the Office of Urban Development in response to the need for effective and efficient physical planning service delivery. Hitherto, the Office of Physical Planning was part of Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development created in 2004 which evolved to coordinate and concentrate on the activities of urban and physical planning in the State,
The Office took its root from merging of erstwhile Ministry of Works and Planning and Lagos Executive Development Board (LEDB) which had responsibility for coordinating physical planning and development control before the creation of Lagos State in 1967. The Ministry subsequently transformed from Ministry of Housing Surveys and Special Duties 1978-1984 to Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning 1994-1999; Office of Physical Planning in the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning 2001-2004 and became full-fledged Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development from 2004 till date.
