The Lagos State Government has made an announcement regarding the removal of permanently closed illegal gates in the Lekki Phase 1 area. Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, shared this information on his official X handle on Saturday.
These gates, as mentioned by Wahab, 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.
In light of this, Wahab strongly advised all resident associations in the state that have such gates in their estates or communities to ensure they are permanently locked and secured. Failure to comply voluntarily may result in sanctions being imposed.
