The Lagos State Government has directed occupants of shanties and all illegal structures erected around the jakande Estate and Mayegun axis, Ajah Lagos to quit immediately or have the structures demolished any moment.
According to Vanguard, the Special Adviser to the Governor on eGIS and Urban Development, Dr. Olajide Babatunde, gave the directive on Sunday, during an inspection of the area.
Babatunde, decried the level of distortion of the area with the erection of shanties and illegal structures refacing boundaries of Jakande Estate and the adjoining roads, setbacks and drainage alignments especially the planned Lagos to Calabar coastal highway project.
According to him, “Removal notices had been served severally on the occupants of these shanties but they have remained adamant.
“You can see that some of them have started removing the illegal structures themselves but I will implore those yet to comply to do so immediately as removal of these illegal structures begins anytime.”
