Lagos State Government Gives Directive For Hawkers & Mechanics To Vacate Marina Axis In 72 Hours

The Lagos State Government has given a 72 hours quit notice to mechanics and street traders operating under the bridges, roadsides and walkways on the Marina Axis to vacate immediately or risk arrest and prosecution. The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Central Business District, Mr. Agboola Dabiri while giving the Governors directives said the State Government has vowed to bring environmental sanity to all nooks and crannies of the State by checking the illegal activities of mechanics or street traders. 
He said no amount of resistance and intimidation by miscreants can make the state government go back on its resolve to clean up the entire marina axis. He decried the nuisance constituted by the activities of mechanics and road side automobile engineers especially those operating indiscriminately under the bridges, open spaces, walkways and roads which are not in line with the clean up initiatives of the State Government. “ We seek total compliance to this directives given to mechanics to vacate as there is no place for roadside mechanics, street trading, illegal shanties in the Marina Axis” Dabiri warned.
