Lagos has demolished illegal structures at Jakande Estate and Maiyegun.

 

Glamtush reports that the Lagos State Government on Monday commenced the clearance of illegal structures and shanties around Jakande Estate and Maiyegun in Lekki.

 

This enforcement operation was announced by Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources in Lagos State, through his official X account.

 

He stated that the initiative aims to recover the coastal road path for the Lagos-Calabar Highway project under the Federal Government and to promote the urban renewal of the affected areas.

 

“Lagos State Government this morning began the removal of all illegal structures and shanties built around Jakande Estate, and Maiyegun, Lekki.

“This enforcement is geared towards reclaiming the coastal road alignment for the Lagos – Calabar Highway project of the Federal Government, and the urban regeneration of the area,” the post read.

 

Alongside Wahab’s post, there were multiple videos displaying bulldozers demolishing the unauthorized structures and shanties in the designated area.
