The Lagos State Government has resumed the clearance of illegal shops attached to the pedestrian bridge in Idumota as part of ongoing efforts to maintain order and improve pedestrian movement in the area.
The disclosure was made on Monday in an X post by the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.
He stated that the operation was carried out in a joint effort between operatives from the Office of the Drainage Services and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), targeted structures encroaching on the bridge and its surroundings to improve accessibility and eliminate safety risks.
