The Nigerian Slum and Informal Settlement Federation, group which is the coalition of waterfront settlers in Lagos State has demanded the immediate retraction of the eviction notice issued to waterfront settlers in the State by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. The seven days eviction notice and plans of demolition of waterfront structures was announced by LASG on Sunday, October 9, 2016.
The group which comprises members from over seventy informal settlements expressed shock when the government issued the eviction notice few days after it staged a peaceful protest on Tuesday, October 4, 2016.
In a letter addressed to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode which was obtained by InsdeMainland, the group expressed its concern stressing that the development “seems to be a continuation of the anti-poor policies of Lagos State which we protested last week.”
“We belong to the city and we have a right to the city as well as a right to shelter and livelihood. Forceful eviction is not only unlawful, it is also ineffective. It will also not solve whatever problem your administration hopes to solve,” part of the letter reads.
Consequently, the group announced plans to proceed on a mass protest if the government does not officially retract the eviction notice by the evening of today, Wednesday, 12 October 2016.

I wish the government can halt some of its moves especially in this economic recession.
Is true the government may have a good intention when embarking on certain action but our human side should make us consider the direct effect on the poor masses.
Times are hard,therefore people should not be subjected to more hardship.

Its not selfishness alone.
These people are 5th columnist in our midst harbouring the KIDNAPPERS and as get away place for the KIDNAPPERS.
If you hear what they say about government, so negatives and full of hatred.
They also harbour OIL BUNKERERS AND ARMED ROBBERS.
For a safer Lagos these shanties needs to go so that at least we can the water ways clearly to avoid another AREPO STRUCTURE coming up in Lagos waterways especially Ibeju, epe, lekki, ikoyi ajah, badore, langbasa, lakowe, Bogijie, awoyaya etc even victoria inland, they can kidnap person there and Use atlantic ocean as get away to warri, bayelsa and Port Harcourt.

Safety first.

Many people are in lagos because they have nothing to do in their villages.

If there is regular electricity in nigeria many millions of people would return back to their villages.
