The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has once again issued a 3-day ultimatum to traders under the Apongbon Bridge in Lagos Island to vacate the area or risk the demolition of the space by Wednesday.
This fresh order is coming barely one month after the Lagos State Government had given a 48 hours notice to owners and occupants of makeshift shops under the Apongbon Bridge to vacate following the fire that gutted several shops on that axis which also badly affected the bridge.
This warning was given by Sanwo-Olu on Sunday, April 24, 2022, while taking a drive on the bride, during the inspection of the blue line rail project.
According to NAN, the governor observed that the traders were back under the bridge with their goods displayed after they were driven away in the aftermath of the fire outbreak, under the Apongbon Bridge about 6 weeks ago.
The governor frowned at the unlawful return of the traders under Apongbon Bridge, saying that the enforcement team would be deployed to the bridge after the three days ultimatum.
