Following the expiration of the 7-day abatement notices served on the owners of illegal shanties and traders along the Lagos - Badagry Express Road, the Lagos State Government on Tuesday commenced the cleanup exercise along the road.

The Permanent Secretary, State Ministry of Transportation, Dr. Taiwo Olufemi Salaam, who led the cleanup team in the company of the Chairman, Lagos Task Force CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi and others, explained that the exercise was in line with the Executive Order of the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on zero tolerance for traffic gridlocks and indiscriminate dumping of refuse.

Salaam stated further that the inter-ministerial committee drawn from ministries and agencies in Lagos State decided to commence the implementation of the Executive Order from the Badagry Express Road due to the prevalence of illegal structures on the right of way, roadside trading, oil bunkering and other criminal activities on the corridor.

While noting that the exercise also became imperative as part of preparations for the commencement of road works that will commence soon and the planned introduction of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along the corridor, he said the holistic exercise involved all the relevant stakeholders including the Lagos Taskforce, LAWMA, LASPARK and LAGESC amongst others.

Salaam urged the residents to desist from illegal activities on the right of way as well as stop indiscriminate dumping of refuse on the road, stressing that they should always make use of large garbage bins and containers stationed along the corridor.

Recall that the Lagos State Government had earlier served abatement notices on the owners/occupiers of the illegal structures along the corridor seven days ago, after which a press briefing was also held to inform all those concerned and residents in the area.

There's something about Tinubu. He knows how to get the best hands for every job. Sanwo-Olu Will give lagos a healthy environment.

Instead of them to build the road, they are talking of shanties. Aren't they aware of the sorry state of the road?

Nonsense

Nice Development.

Coincidentally, I witnessed it live yesterday afternoon along the highway before Orile bus stop. They were demolishing the shanty slums built on the kerb walkway with a yellow bulldozer crane. The LASG taskforce team that performed the operation were a combined unit of different state agencies, they were so plenty you would think it was a battle field . They were very professional and handled it well without any crisis breaking out. Sanwo Olu is already showing us he will be a wonderful Lagos State Governor. However, the only thing I just wonder is, why is it that when it comes to demolishing illegal structures, the LASG will always be forming Bruce Lee but when it comes to removing agberos and thugs, the LASG will be doing like Mr. Bean

lagos is over hype come over to cotonue and see life for ur self, very dirty state.

Nonsense

Nigerian leaders always like to go the easier route. Look at the FG for instance, believing it can curb insecurity with sheer violence whilst pretending that poverty and illiteracy aren't the root causes of the problem.

Even when they build or repair the roads, their longevity is always suspect.
