Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The governments of Ogun and Lagos states have agreed to get rid of illegal shanties and structures along the Badagry-Agbara expressway.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Environment in Ogun and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC\/KAI) have set the machinery in motion.<\/p>\n

A statement signed on Thursday by the Ministry\u2019s Press Officer, Joke Akinnuga, said the action became necessary to free the busy road of incessant gridlock.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said a team of Health Officials and Marshals led by Senior Special Assistant to Ogun Governor on Environment, Farouk Akintunde, carried out an assessment.<\/p>\n

Akinnuga noted that the states were determined to avoid loss of lives and property and implored traders to obey directives and abatement notices served.<\/p>\n

Akintunde cautioned against further trading activities on the Badagry-Agbara corridor, particularly under power lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should realise that this axis is an international route and a major highway that connects Nigeria to the Republic of Benin.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should desist from unwholesome acts that negate environmental laws\u201d, the SSA warned the people.<\/p>\n

Ganiyu Salami, Deputy Commandant, LAGESC\/KAI Intelligence and Supervision, said the teams were concerned about various environmental infractions.<\/p>\n

Salami pointed out that the illegal shanties and structures had become hiding spots for miscreants and robbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraders have turned Agbara roundabout, which used to be a garden, into a marketplace. The display of wares along the roadside has led to the traffic gridlock\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The official sought the understanding of stakeholders in the area and assured that Lagos and Ogun would sustain enforcement.<\/p>\n
