LAGOS TASKFORCE AGAIN CLEARS OSHODI RAILWAY TRACK, APONGBON UNDER BRIDGE, OTHER AREAS

….vows to sustain the tempo State wide

The Lagos State Taskforce has matched words with actions to rid the State of indiscriminate display of goods on the Highways, Road side, kerb and railway tracks across various parts of the Metropolis through enforcement exercises carried out by the Agency today.

The simultaneous operations which were tactically supervised by the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Shola Jejeloye was as a result of the directives of the State Government to all Environmental enforcement agencies of Government saddled with the responsibility of restoring sanity on the walkways, highways and rail tracks where some individuals incessantly carry out trading activities which not only debase the environment but also cause pain and discomfort to Lagosians.

Jejeloye disclosed that several notices have been served to traders, especially those at Oshodi rail track where the Agency carried out a sensitization and a subtle on the 23rd of May 2023 to discourage them from returning to the tracks but it fell on deaf ears.

“Our warnings have been sent out to them for as long as two years ago but they don’t listen. We served notices at Fagba where some people built shanties, kiosks from Fagba all the way to Pen Cinema and Isokoko thereby shortchanging motorists and pedestrians who should enjoy free movement along that axis. It is completely unfair to all Lagosians and we will make sure that they are all cleared out with immediate effect”.

The Chairman stated that though both the buyer and seller involved in these activities should be arrested, he tries to strike a balance and avoid double jeopardy by only seizing the goods found on the rail tracks and urged the Market leaders to come down to the Headquarters of the Agency for a round table engagement to foster a permanent solution to end this menace.

In a related development, The Lagos State Taskforce carried out an all night raid up to this morning underneath Apongbon Bridge where traders were asked to vacate the area in order to forestall any environmental mishaps that could re occur and lead to could lead to loss of lives and property the and jeopardize the safety and security of Lagosians.

Jejeloye disclosed that the action was necessary following the reopening of Eko Bridge after it had been shut for 15 months after a fire outbreak had occurred due to the activities of traders haphazardly clustered under the Bridge. He stated that it was necessary for the Agency to take these steps at this location and other strategic locations where the activities of Street traders posed a major threat to the Environment and general well being of Lagosians.

He appealed to all traders to relocate their activities to the complex provided by the State Government and desist from carrying out activities that are counter productive to the State.

“Achieving a Mega City status as enshrined in the THEMES Agenda of the State Government is a collective effort and all hands must be on deck to ensure its sustenance. We will carry out these enforcement exercise on a daily basis to ensure we achieve our aim and anyone found going against the law will be arrested and prosecuted accordingly” He concluded.

Lagos dirty sha...

Let the poor breef. Don't suffocate them

May Lagos State Task Force Clears Oshodi Railway Track, Apongbon Under Bridge, Etc. Favor me and my family

Lookat the level of dirtiness in Agbado Nation.

Oya, operation clean

Give them three weeks, max. Same police and taskforce will put their own people there and collect money from them. Na today? Lagos is the most reckless and undisciplined state you can find anywhere in the world.

Just returned from Abuja, I did not see any danfo, keke or yellow molue or ab0ki okada riders constituting nuisance on the road. I did not see any driver, private car or government officials driving against traffic or running traffic light.

As soon as I got off the flight and entered the street of Lagos, the entire madness just displayed everywhere.

Lovely! Send them back to their various villages...
Too many nuisance in Lagos....

People can sell but let them go rent shops and not sell on railways and roadside. I was standing by the road one day when one woman shouted at me to leave the front of her market. I was like for main road. Chaaai, what a country

Give them 1 month they will be back

Only in Nigeria.... They are begging them not to die


Indian train mishap is enough lesson

This is witch-hunt they should have given the Igbo traders one month notice before dis…

We can't allow visitors dirty Lagos henceforth.

It's long due, that place is eye sore.

Enough Hunger is loading in that state

They should use electric fences to protect the bridge and rail tracks.

Give them two days.
I remember the days of NYSC. We did community cleanup one Saturday morning. Cleaned everywhere including gutters.
After marking attendance, i headed to a bus stand with peeps and saw they've littered the whole place again. It was still 9 am. 🥺
Nigerians are dirty by default.
If not for security, dem go replicate same madness at the malls.

Hmmmmm!

Trabalistic statements will soon start,

Oya just watch.


Hahaha.

I hoped it's sustained!

Indeed
