Lagos Declares Adron Homes, 175 Others Illegal Estates, Issues 21-Day Deadline

In a decisive move to restore order in Lagos’ real estate sector, the state government has flagged 176 estates, including the prominent Adron Homes, as illegal developments. The affected estates were accused of operating without requisite layout approvals or planning permits, in violation of the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning Laws.

Supreme news reports that this development affects estates located across Ibeju-Lekki (111), Eti-Osa (27), and Epe (32) Local Government Areas. The government has given a strict 21-day ultimatum, starting from August 4–5, 2025, for the flagged estates to comply or face sealing, stop-work orders, and legal action.

Among the flagged entities, Adron Homes, a key player in Nigeria’s mass-market real estate space, stands out. The estate flagged is situated in Elerangbe, within the rapidly developing Ibeju-Lekki corridor. - Advertisement - Violations by Adron Homes include:

Absence of layout approvals

Lack of registration with LASRERA

Breach of physical planning regulations

Disregard for previous government warnings

This action casts a shadow over Adron’s reputation, which has long marketed its offerings as “affordable luxury.” The company’s inclusion in the blacklist is seen as a major setback.

The Lagos State Government directed all 176 estate developers to take the following steps within the next three weeks:

Submit layout approval documents to the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Alausa, Ikeja

Register with the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA)

Commence compliance procedures or face regulatory actions

Failure to act will lead to: Site closures, Prosecution, Demolition of unauthorized structures, if necessary

The flagging comes amidst ongoing legal battles and customer disputes involving Adron Homes:

Recent Cases: Ogun State Lawsuit (May 2025): Plot owners at Treasure Park & Gardens estate accused Adron of poor estate management and unauthorized utility disconnections.

Refund Dispute: Patience Yusuff, a Lagos resident, battled Adron for nearly five years to recover funds paid for a plot in Ikorodu. A refund was issued only after media exposure, with 30% of the sum withheld. While Adron Homes has denied wrongdoing, terming allegations “defamatory,” the accumulation of complaints has intensified regulatory focus.

Implication for Lagos Real Estate Sector

According to urban planning authorities, these unapproved developments:

Disrupt drainage systems and road networks

Jeopardize future infrastructure projects

Encourage environmental degradation

Promote uncontrolled urban sprawl Officials emphasize that the crackdown aligns with the state’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ agenda, which prioritizes environmental sustainability and urban order.

With the 21-day clock ticking, developers—regardless of stature—must urgently pursue planning regularization or risk closure. Analysts believe this may become a watershed moment for urban real estate enforcement in Lagos.
