The Lagos State government has on Monday demolished shanties under the Ijora bridge.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab in an X post.
“Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources #LasgMOE commence removal of shanties and illegal business activities under the Ijora bridge.”
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Wahab announced that illegal occupants under the bridge were served a 23-hour notice to vacate.
Recall that the Lagos State government demolished illegal shanties under the Ijora bridge in February following a five-day quit notice.
Meanwhile, following the development, the government has announced its plan to convert the under-bridge to a creational space.
