The Lagos State Government has said it will permanently enforce the removal of illegal makeshift and shanties on the median along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, warning that offenders who return after the ongoing clearance exercise will be prosecuted.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this on Wednesday during an inspection of the exercise on the expressway.
PUNCH Online’s correspondent who monitored the exercise observed that some wooden structures that were initially erected on the median had been removed.
Officials of the state enforcement team were also seen setting fire to the wooden debris despite heavy rainfall.
