Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal and Lagos State governments have said about 795 houses would be demolished, to pave way for the construction of the proposed 37-kilometre Fourth Mainland Bridge.<\/p>\n

The two authorities revealed a lot of efforts had been made to reduce the number of affected structures from about 9,000.<\/p>\n

However, the state government assured that owners of the affected property would be adequately compensated.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Stakeholders\u2019 scoping workshop with the Federal Ministry of Environment in Lagos, Environment Minister, Mamoud Abubakar said there would be a commitment on the part of Lagos State government on the compensation for owners of affected properties.<\/p>\n

The minister, who was represented by a director in the ministry, James Kolawole, explained that though the project would have about 16 alignments, the best had been selected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an alignment that will affect about 9,000 structures along the corridor, but we have reviewed it and gone for the alignment that will affect about 795 houses, instead of the one that will take more houses. It is an ongoing thing on how best to minimise the negative impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The bridge, which will connect Lagos and Ogun States, will pass through Abraham Adesanya in Lagos and Sparklight Estate near the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
