The Lagos State government says it would not be selective in its enforcement and application of the law to residents, but ensure justice and fairness to all in ensuring a healthy environment in the state.
Wahab, who was besieged by occupants and owners of the fully built structures constructed on the drainage setbacks and already marked for demolition, said stopping the demolition exercise would amount to double standard. Wahab led the team that included Permanent Secretaries, Office of Drainage Services, Engr Olalekan Shodeinde and Environmental Services, Gaji Omobolaji, respectively to Osapa London and major housing estates in Ikota, Lekki County Estate and Victoria Garden City Estate.
He stressed that the owners of the structures demolished in Ikota were aware that they contravened and had different engagements with the Ministry from 2020 when most of the structures were at foundation levels and several notices served.
