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
