@seun_osiyemi @Sola_Giwa @rotimi_akodu @mogbite The focus should be on long lasting solutions to these menaces. Your team was in Berger to arrest those causing traffic gridlocks but it's worse now. People don't enter the designated bus stop cos police officers collect money for offloading passengers there.

You and your team are doing a fantastic job...Olorun a'fun yin se- Amin. And by the time Lagos becomes a city of attraction to the whole world, that will result in Tourism industry that will create jobs for our youths and generate more revenue for the state. Having said this Mr @tokunbo_wahab, is it possible for you and the Lagos state government to please dash those people a token money 10-20k, for the inconvenience caused by sending them away from the environment they had been used to for donkey years- as owo e gba ema binu... in order not to say that our people are wicked.

In the company of the Special Adviser on the Environment, Engr. Kunle Akodu Kunle Rotimi-Akodu; the Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services, Engr. Mahmoud Adegbite Olakunle Adegbite ; the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services, Dr. Gaji Omobolaji Tajudeen; Lagos State Taskforce Chairman, CSP Adebayo Akerele; Managing Director LAWMA Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, PhD and other Directors from the Ministry, I inspected the ongoing removal of illegal structures along the Lagos–Okokomaiko–Badagry Expressway. The exercise is being carried out by operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Taskforce, the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), LAWMA, and other relevant stakeholders. The expansive road median was deliberately constructed by the Lagos State Government to accommodate the Lagos Rail Mass Transit project. As a major gateway into Nigeria from other West African countries, this corridor is of significant economic and strategic importance and reflects the image of our state. It is therefore unacceptable for such critical public infrastructure, built with taxpayers’ resources, to be occupied by illegal traders and other unauthorised occupants. We want to assure Lagosians that the State Government will sustain regular monitoring and enforcement along this corridor. A permanent patrol team will be deployed to ensure that illegal occupants do not return, while preserving the integrity and intended purpose of this vital infrastructure. #ZeroToleranceLagos

OUR YEARNING FOR A SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT ONLY ACHIEVEABLE THROUGH COLLECTIVE EFFORTS-LASG ...As Env. Comm leads State officials on inspection of Savage/Elegbata Drainage Channel Lagos State Government on Sunday restated the need for all Local Governments/ Local Council Development Areas to collaborate with the State to confront environmental challenges through continuous enforcement and sustained advocacy. The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab laid the emphasis while addressing the media after an inspection tour to Savage/Elegbata Drainage channel around Olowogbowo/ Apongbon axis in Lagos Island, adding that the state is determined to proffer lasting solution to the problem of flooding in Lagos Island and Environs which poses serious threat to lives and properties in the area. Wahab said the team had to visit the Savage/Elegbata Drainage channel for a solution to open the drainage outfall towards discharging into the Lagoon effectively adding that the out fall was blocked as a result of an ongoing road construction in the the area. He said it was disheartening to see how human bad behaviours have destroyed the roads and other infrastructure put in place by the government saying LGs/ LCDAs are very culpable for the destruction of these infrastructure because they have allowed and looked away from various unsanitary activities of the residents on the state of the roads. Wahab stressed that during the inspection, it was observed that the people in the community were entrenched in bad behaviours, saying that Government will not rest but would continue to ramp up the enforcement and advocacy approach. The commissioner urged everyone engaged in various activities such as operating illegal mechanic workshops, street trading, illegal abbatoir, unapproved parking lot amongst others under Apongbon bridge and environs to vacate immediately as enforcement agents have been given the go- ahead to begin enforcement. He said government enforcement officials would be stationed in the axis after the enforcement to monitor the level of compliance and make arrest as well as prosecute when the need arises. He implored community members to always take ownership of all infrastructure and the environment by preventing indiscriminate dumping of refuse in the drainage channels/roads, trading on the roads amongst others stressing that it is the responsibility of all residents to maintain the environment to ensure its sustainability. The team visited the Savage/Elegbata Drainage Channel which cut across Cole Street, Savage Lane, George Street, Abu Lane, Apongbon underbridge and Olowogbowo area.
