The Lagos State Government says it will commence full enforcement of the removal of stalls/shanties under Apongbon Bridge and the setback of the Savage/Elegbata/Bombata drainage channel on Lagos Island on Tuesday.
This move followed the expiration of the 48-hour quit notice issued to the traders last week.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said this while speaking with newsmen at Ebute Ero after an inspection tour of the Savage/Elegbata Bombata Drainage channel around Olowogbowo/ Apongbon axis in Lagos Island.
He said the government would remove all the shanties impeding drainage channels in the best interest of all residents.
Wahab also explained that the Lagos State officials repeated the tour to ascertain the level of compliance by traders operating on drainage channel setbacks with the quit notice issued to them.
The commissioner noted that during an inspection tour last week, it was observed that the setback of these two critical drainage collectors which are Bombata/Olusi and the Alagbafo collector have been converted into shops/stalls thereby causing the total blockage of the collectors.
