The Lagos State Government is commencing the demolition of perimeter fences situated within two meters of drainage channels on Norman Williams, Awolowo, and Ribadu roads in the Ikoyi area of the state today (Monday).
This action follows the expiration of the grace period granted to property owners in the affected areas.
Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab of the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, who visited Norman Williams Street on Sunday, expressed disappointment in the low level of compliance, with only a few homeowners adhering to the directive.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Environment, Mr. Olakunle Rotimi-Akodu, also accompanied the minister and criticized the indifferent attitude of homeowners.
