THE Lagos State Government has appealed to the stakeholders of Okobaba Sawmill in the Ebute-Meta axis of the State to cooperate with the government

The call was made by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Idris Salako on Thursday through the Assistant Director, Public Affairs of the ministry, Mukaila Sanusi.

The commissioner urged the Saw millers, residents and the Oloto family to exercise restraint and allow peace to reign in the community, while reiterating that Government would continue to interact with all stakeholders for a lasting solution while the relocation process lasted. He further explained that the State Government was mindful of the exigency of relocating the market from its present location to Agbowa and would not do so at the expense of standards as her aim was to deliver enduring and sustainable infrastructure that would not only ease businesses at the Agbowa Timber Village, but also address the challenges faced presently by stakeholders at Okobaba.

He emphasised that the relocation of the Sawmill had become necessary to address the perennial environmental challenges brought about by the existence of the market and bequeath a functional, well organised and resilient smart city in line with the THEMES agenda of the Lagos State Government. The Commissioner assured that the Ministry was already streamlining the roles of contractors and agencies involved in the project in order to ensure that timely relocation activities from Okobaba to Agbowa- lkosi commenced by the first quarter of this year as earlier promised.
