The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has issued a 7-day notice to owners of buildings lying within the seven-metre setback on Orchid Road, Agungi, Ajiran, Conservation Road, Osapa all along the Ikota River.

Tokunbo Wahab gave the warning after an extensive inspection tour to System 156 and 157 Channel along Ikota River.

The inspection tour was to ascertain the level of compliance by property owners whose buildings and fences fall within the approved seven-metre setback on both sides of the channel and had been given the option of voluntary compliance.

Tokunbo Wahab urged Lagosians to respect the State Drainage Master Plan to avoid properties demolition asserting that there was no going back on the decision of the state to enforce the law and reclaim Drainage setbacks following the expiration of the notices issued.
