You are very right. It seems the government doesn't want to take that bold step.

seconded the motion for second reading

Honourable colleagues, Mr Speaker; I Honourable headofschool second this motion and urge the house to treat as urgent. Having an area like that does not only disfigure the face of our state but also breeds diseases and criminal activities. I believe if handled rightly, the area could be cleaned and serve as important recreational area for the state. We could have property developers get down on it to establish massive structures that will fetch the government more money (Properties with Sea view). The residents of Makoko needs to be saved from destroying themselves with this lifestyle, however government should put proper relocation plan in place not just evacuation notice. I support a greater Lagos, eko oni baje o! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™

Makoko is an environmental disaster.

The blue smoke from kerosene usage that polutes the air of that location, the use of the water as their toilet and waste disposal on such a scale should not be tolerated due to sentimental reasons......meanwhile some people are feeding of renting out shanties and water allocations for constructing more shanties.

It's also a vast, dirty, depressing eyesore located at the most vantage point possible.

They should be relocated and the waterfront put to better use to improve the Lagos state environment.

Exactly. Thank you for the detailed analysis.
Few love the status quo there as they are gaining from it massively.

We will let them know directly now that Lagocians are asking for the cleanup of that slum. We will communicate directly with the government to take actions
