The Lagos State government has continued its enforcement of compliance with planning regulations and the attainment of a safe, orderly, and sustainable physical environment.
In a Thursday statement on X, Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner Ministry of the Environment and Water, stated that the state government is removing structures built on the right-of-way of water to ensure smooth flow across the drainage corridor.
The commissioner expressed that the enforcement is a testament to the state’s commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure and protecting the lives of citizens.
He wrote, “Work is ongoing along the Airport Road channel to restore the right of way of water and ensure smooth flow across the drainage corridor.
“Structures built directly on the water path are being removed as part of the State Government’s continuous efforts to address flooding, protect lives, and safeguard critical infrastructure.”
