The Lagos State Government has issued a five-day quit notice to illegal squatters under the Ijora Causeway Bridge and Lagos Blue Line overhead bridge in Ijora to remove their shanties.
Tokunbo Wahab, the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, disclosed this on his official X handle on Sunday after he had embarked on an inspection tour of the Ijora under bridge and environs.· “Earlier today, we went on an inspection tour of the Ijora under bridge and environment where I instructed that a five-day quit notice be given to illegal squatters under the Ijora causeway bridge and Lagos Blue rail Line overhead bridge in Ijora to remove all their shanties for constituting a danger to the Lagos Blue Line corridor or risk demolition and removal,” Wahab said. The Commissioner stressed that the eviction notice is crucial because the presence of minibusses, block molders, fuel sellers, and miscreants under the Blue Rail Line bridge poses a security risk to the safe operation of the Blue Rail Line service.
