In order to allow access to the collector drain for cleaning and maintenance the Lagos State government has commenced the demolitions of illegal structures built on setbacks of Mojisola Onikoyi Shoreline Estate – Parkview Estate – Banana Island collector drain at Ikoyi.
The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, made this known during an inspection of the area.
He said the move was made following the expiration of the contravention notice served on properties built on the mentioned location.
The commissioner said many buildings in the area failed to leave the standard 3-metre distance to the drainage channel.
