“These initiatives have been carried out at great expense. Our commonwealth is under attack from societal foes, and we should not take it lightly. I beg all drivers to keep this bridge safe from vandals and other adversaries of society. Sanwo-Olu mentioned

“Let me stress once more that this bridge is not a marketplace; goods are not to be displayed on the steps, ramps or walkways. Strict guidelines have been issued to our law enforcement authorities to guarantee that there is no room for misuse of this facility.
