Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has issued a final warning to illegal occupants and structures on the median of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, directing relevant agencies to commence a large-scale demolition and clean-up operation along the axis from Monday, as part of efforts to restore order and improve environmental sanitation.

Speaking to journalists during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise at Itire Road in Surulere Local Government Area of the state, on Saturday, Sanwo-Olu said the government would no longer tolerate the illegal occupation of the road median, describing it as an abuse of public infrastructure, an eyesore, and a threat to the ongoing reconstruction of the 10-lane super-highway.

On the governor’s entourage was his wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat, and the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.

Sanwo-Olu said the exercise would cover the stretch from Orile Iganmu to Okokomaiko, warning that all illegal structures on the corridor would be removed, sparing no one.
