Flooding: Lagos removes illegal structures in Iju-Ishaga enforcement
The Lagos government has removed illegal structures along Makanjuola Street in Iju-Ishaga as part of its ongoing environmental enforcement exercise.
The sanitation was announced in a statement by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on Thursday.
According to the statement, the operation aims to enforce environmental regulations, protect public infrastructure and promote a cleaner, safer and more orderly environment.
The exercise targeted structures illegally erected in public spaces that obstructed access, contributed to environmental degradation, and hindered effective sanitation and drainage management.
The statement added that the enforcement exercise was part of the state government’s commitment to preserving public infrastructure, improving environmental sanitation and maintaining order across communities.
It urged residents and property owners to comply with environmental laws and refrain from encroaching on public spaces, warning that similar enforcement operations would continue statewide.
