Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has issued a 72-hour ultimatum for the removal of illegal structures and occupants along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
The directive followed the state’s monthly sanitation exercise in Ojuelegba, Surulere and Kosofe, where the governor stressed the need for residents and government to work together to keep Lagos clean.
Sanwo-Olu ordered a large-scale demolition of illegal structures along the corridor, warning that unauthorized activities on the highway would no longer be tolerated.
“From next week, we are coming to clear the entire median. Everything there will go,” he said.
The governor also disclosed that the state had acquired 150 additional compactor trucks to improve waste collection and was developing a stronger landfill management plan to support PSP operators.
He urged residents to pay their waste disposal bills and avoid indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
