The Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources took swift action following a public petition, closing off a construction site situated on Onasanya Street, off Ishaga Road.
Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab made this announcement in a statement shared on his official account on Saturday.
In his statement, Wahab detailed the intervention, explaining,
“Operatives from the Monitoring Enforcement and Compliance Department of #LasgMOE, responding to a public petition, sealed a building under construction at Onasanya Street, off Ishaga Rd, after the owner failed to comply with abatement notices.”
He added, “The owner of the sealed construction site had deposited building materials on the road and drains, causing disruption to the smooth flow of water in the area.”
Additionally, Wahab noted, “During the operation, illegal structures encroaching on setbacks along Onasanya Street were also demolished by the operatives.”
