Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce) has issued a 3 -Day Removal Notice to all owners of makeshift structures, shanties, kiosks and vehicles at Maroko and Lekki Coastal Road, Lekki, Lagos.
Chairman of Taskforce, CSP Shola Jejeloye, who led his team to the points of the issuance of the removal notices said that the order became necessary for the road construction along the coastal road which serves as an alternative route for the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
According to the Chairman, “the stretch of road has been taken over by mechanics, block makers, bamboo and wood sellers, shanties and other illegal occupiers, which are going to hamper road construction work in the area.”
He further stated that on expiration of the Removal Notice on Thursday, officials of the agency would remove all structures, shanties, abandoned vehicles and materials in the area.
He noted that the removal of shanties and criminal hideout in Marwa Waterside area would help reduce traffic robberies and criminal activities on Lekki/Ajah Corridor, particularly in Jakande Roundabout.
While addressing the occupants of the area in clusters before pasting the notices the Chairman implored them to heed the State Government’s Removal Order as anyone found on the road at the expiration of the notice would be made to face justice.
