Otitoju had petitioned Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, urging him to order the unsealing of his road setback, which housed a mechanic workshop in Lekki Phase 1.
But Punuka Investment, in a statement by its counsel, Adeyinka Abdulsalam, said: “Our attention has been drawn to two publications by Sir Kayode Otitoju and his wife, Oladunni Otitoju, in which our company’s and our director’s names feature. After careful consideration, including the company’s 3-D design for a beautification garden and parking facility there , LASPARK granted approval to Punuka Investment Limited. This was confirmed in their letter of April 12, 2022.
The statement added: “Also, specific power over open spaces in the state is vested in LASPARK, not the Ministry of Transport. Further, a mechanic workshop is not a transportation activity within the purview of the Ministry to allocate an open space. “Thus, an area designated for high-end commercial and residential use should not be used as an abattoir or mechanic workshop. It poses serious environmental risks and devalues significant investments in the area.
