LAGOS ORDERS TRADERS, BEGGARS TO VACATE AGEGE RAIL TRACKS.
The Lagos State Government and the Agege Local Government have ordered traders and beggars on rail tracks along the Agege corridor to vacate before strict enforcement and demolition.
At a stakeholders meeting on Sunday with illegal occupants, owners of shanties, traders, and those begging for alms on the rail tracks, the government told them to vacate the area with immediate effect.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pension, Afolabi Ayantayo, in his remarks at the meeting, charged the occupants of the shanties to vacate the rail lines before the enforcement would commence.
The commissioner also appealed to the community and market leaders to enlighten their residents and traders to shun trading on the railway lines to avoid being arrested by a joint enforcement team to be set up soon.
While appreciating the local government for organising the meeting on behalf of the Lagos State Government, Ayantayo begged those concerned to abide by the directive of the government.
