As part of concerted efforts aimed at ensuring the general cleanliness of Lagos environs in line with global best practices, the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) has effected the demolition and removal of illegal structures under the CMS bridge.

The Corps Marshal of the Agency, CP Gbemisola Akinpelu, (rtd), made this disclosure at the Command Headquarters, Bolade-Oshodi, noting that the exercise was in response to petitions received about the activities of street traders and miscreants around the CMS axis and under the Eko Bridge.

Akinpelu explained that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had also given a directive that the refrigerators and cold rooms constructed with illegal connections under the bridge be dismantled to avoid a repeat of the Apongbon bridge incident, adding that other illegal structures were also dismantled and carted away by the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA).

She also directed that the cleared area be sustained by operatives of the Agency stationed around the CMS axis, warning that anyone caught returning to the location for illegal trade will be dealt with in accordance with the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017.

While calling for voluntary compliance with the State Environmental Laws, Akinpelu charged street traders and hawkers to desist from displaying their wares for trading under bridges, pedestrian bridges, walkways, setbacks, sidewalks, road verges and medians, stressing that such untoward behaviour negatively affects the environment and impedes the free flow of human and vehicular movement across the State.

The Corps Marshal also enjoined pedestrians to be safety-conscious by using pedestrian bridges, just as she advised owners of private and public property to have a valid waste collection contract for proper waste disposal to foster cleanliness in the State.

Lagos is overpopulated.
Nigeria have to intensify on Urban renewal.
Implement Urban and regional planning in every town/city in order to phase out existing shanties, ghettos and slumps and prevent the spring up of new ones in the future.
The government should encourage low-cost housing estates for the low income earners.
And provide the necessary facilities like market, school, hospitals, recreational facilities for them
Government may not build all the houses.
But should do the planning for uniformity, organisation and cleanliness.

Cost of renting a shop is high.

Trenches too full Lagos sef....

Long overdue. That CMS area is an eyesore

Those people don't wish to stay there either, Nah fortune and bad governance cause am

Nice development.

From all of us @[/b] :
GOD BLESS SANWO-OLU.

Lagos State : A country within a country.

The State of many Firsts.

[b]God bless Lagos State.

God bless Nigeria.

We Rise.

You're very much in order!

Golan007:


What is true is that Lagos state is enabling environment for businesses borne about by the desire of its citizens to work and create.

This extends to the government of the state because living in the state imbibed a culture.

Another Gbamsolutely!!!

Gala hawkers will have nowhere to set up base

But who gave the people the license to erect such structures there before?

It's silly to just get up one day and start building illegal structures under bridges and expect the Government not to react.

However, I believe if the people have better options they wouldn't have preferred under the bridges.

This is where the government has to be up and doing, make provision for the less privileged and homeless for proper monitoring of their activities or else, they will be everywhere causing havoc.

The problem with the govt is that they turned a blind eye to this from the onset... If they govt were to be strict from the start that nothing should be under the bridge, believe you me no one will live or do business under the bridge.. but becos the agberos are busy taking money from shanties as payment for ground money that is why you have them there.... What will start small will become something else... Before you know it, it becomes a den of thieves...

Las las those affected will only relocate to the next empty bridge they see and life goes on

Better.

Issokay!!!

Election strategies.

Idayi laaro yin

How would area boys make their money
How would iya biliki sell her ewedu
How would iya basiru sell her agbọ
Where will the area bits hang out
How will the igbo sell their okrika


Why don't modernize it and utilize the space... Lagos doesn't have land and every land should be utilised...

Ok

Upper Iweka is unchanged till now and remains a den of criminals and IPOB recruit. Something Saint Peter Obi refused to do.
Tinubu's Legacy - Lagos. And millions of Igbos are living and eking a living there
Peter Obi's Legacy - Anambra. Only Igbos there. Less than 5% of non-Igbos there actually making a living. Number has reduced to 2% with the IPOB sit-at-home.
Choose your future. Someone who helped create Africa's most progressive state is better than someone that was building churches without a single export his state can boast of.
God bless Nigeria.

What about OBALENDE!

Nice one

Panadol for hypertension.

Rather than focus on improving the quality of life for the poor and middle class these mofos have committed to disbanding the coping mechanisms of poor people.

Ok

There's needs to decongest Lagos

Crime rate about to go up
