The Lagos State Government has commenced clearance operations along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway to remove illegal structures and restore free flow of traffic.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement posted on his official X handle on Monday.
According to Wahab, the enforcement exercise began at Alakija in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area before progressing through Iyana Iba and extending to areas opposite Lagos State University (LASU), with active operations also ongoing at Alaba Market in Ojo Local Government Area.
“Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Agency (LAGESC), in collaboration with other enforcement teams of the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, have commenced clearance operations at Alakija,” Wahab said.
“The operation has since progressed through Iyana Iba and is currently ongoing opposite Lagos State University (LASU), with active enforcement at Alaba Market along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway,” he added.
The latest exercise follows a series of enforcement actions carried out across the state in late 2025, including clearance operations along the Jakande Coastal Road and the arrest of beggars on the Lekki–Epe Expressway.
Wahab said the operation was part of the state government’s sustained efforts to improve environmental sanitation, enhance traffic flow and ensure compliance with environmental and urban planning regulations along major corridors in the state.
