The Ogun State Government has called for the immediate removal of makeshift structures belonging to roadside traders along Magboro Road on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Lateef Yusuf, revealed that the traders had encroached upon designated walkways, converting them into makeshift markets.
Yusuf lamented that the traders were disrupting the free movement of pedestrians and motorists, thereby putting lives at risk of accidents.
He noted that, to avert such a trend, the ministry is collaborating with the Ministry of Environment and reaffirmed its commitment to coordinating enforcement efforts with other relevant government agencies to address the situation.
The permanent secretary emphasised the importance of restoring order and ensuring that pedestrian pathways serve their intended purpose to safeguard public safety and maintain urban discipline.
