Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has announced the removal of illegal gates that are permanently closed along the Lekki Phase 1 axis.
According to him, the exercise is to demolish unwarranted multiplicity of the gates in many parts of the state, defacing the aesthetics of the environment and causing unnecessary traffic in the major roads.
He further added the areas where these removals will take place include; Sir Rufus Foluso Giwa Road, Theophilus Oji Road, Osaro Isokpan Road, Abike Sulaiman Road, Ben Okagbue MBA Road, Olubunmi Rotimi Road, Olanrewaju Ninalowo Road, Dele Adedeji road, Abayomi Sonuga road, Siji Soetan and Rasheed Alaba Williams roads.
The commissioner submitted that it was unfair for some individuals to mount unnecessary gates, blocking interlink roads, thereby causing severe traffic and untold pain on other residents.
