The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has given a seven-day ultimatum to vehicle owners parked under Costain to remove them before Sunday.
The warning, LATSMA said, will affect owners/drivers of trucks, tankers and trailers illegally parked under the Costain Bridge to the Iganmu area of the state.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Mr. Sola Giwa, who led officials of LASTMA to serve the notice in the area, said those equally affected by the seven-day ‘removal order’ included owners/occupiers of illegal structures, shanties, kiosks and containerised shops in the axis.
Director, Public Affairs Unit, LASTMA, Mr. Adebayo Taofiq Giwa, further disclosed that the seven-day notice was coming after several days of inspections for a general cleanup exercise of the area by officials of the Lagos State government.
Giwa said it was an eyesore seeing the level of degradation of our roads by the activities of illegal squatters, with miscreants and hoodlums freely smoking and selling Indian hemp under the bridge.
