Wednesday, September 24, 2025 - The Lagos State Government has cleared a cluster of illegal shanties and a makeshift car wash in the Lekki area as part of its ongoing environmental enforcement drive.
Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources,
Tokunbo Wahab, confirmed the demolition in a statement posted on his official X
handle on Tuesday.
According to Wahab, the enforcement team dismantled the
unlawful structures at Lafiaji Beach and along Platinum Way in the Igbokusu
axis of Lekki.
“These shanties not only degrade the environment but also
promote indiscriminate waste disposal and other unhygienic practices along our
coastal corridors,” he explained.
The commissioner emphasised that the state government would
not tolerate activities that compromise environmental sustainability and public
health.
“As a government, we cannot allow these practices to persist
unchecked. We remain committed to restoring order, safeguarding our
waterfronts, and ensuring that public spaces are managed responsibly in line
with environmental regulations,” Wahab said.
