Sanwo-Olu said the law to regulate the real estate transactions in Lagos State will help to protect the citizens, the unsuspecting Lagosians, who fall prey to many real estate professionals, adding that the law will also help players in the real estate sector to know what is expected of them and for government to be able to track who is doing what in the sector.

“It is really about ease of doing business and ensuring that we can continue to attract private sector investments into the real estate space.

“We believe this law would be the very first in the country that has taken a deep dive into what is happening in that space and it further strengthens our intervention in housing through the Ministry of Housing”, he said.

Also signed into law by the Governor is the bill to regulate ownership, licensing and sales of pets and to prohibit and restrict people from having in custody dangerous animals in public places.

The Governor also signed into law, the bill that provides for the registration of Cooperative Societies in Lagos State

Sanwo-Olu said the new bills he assented to, will strengthen government and citizens’ engagement and relationships and for residents of the State to continue to live in an atmosphere where the rule of law is enshrined for people and to know what is expected of them.

The governor commended the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, and the state lawmakers for seeing the need to pass the bills into laws.

Sanwo-Olu noted that the law regulating the ownership, licensing and sales of pets, prohibiting and restricting people from having in custody dangerous animals in public places, would further strengthen all the deliverables in the Ministry of Agriculture, especially issues that have to do with pets and animals.
