Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has threatened to demolish all the massive structures illegally built on road alignments, causing flooding in the Lekki axis of the state.

The governor issued the threat on Saturday after undertaking a tour of Lekki regional roads and alignments in Lekki area of the state, even as he blamed the excessive flooding that submerged so many houses and destroyed property worth billions of naira on the illegality.

Sanwo-Olu described the haphazard development on the Lekki corridor as shameful, saying no responsible government would fold its hands and allow its built environment to be distorted with illegal structures, mini developments.

“This alignment is called Lekki Regional Road. It is meant to be a relief access road to the Lekki-Epe Expressway,” the governor said, just as he noted the haphazard development in Brownstone Estate as a major concern. (Nigerian Tribune)
