The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu is not happy with those who scooped fuel from a fallen tanker in Apapa on Monday. The governor expressed disappointment over the scooping of fuel dripping from a fallen tanker at Liverpool Bridge, Apapa, by some residents of the state, describing the act as reckless.
He lamented that they did not prioritise safety, as they endangered their lives during the act.
Sanwo-Olu, who commended the swift actions of first responders, including the police, for securing the area before any eventualities, warned residents to desist from such acts.
The governor also spoke on the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on the road median, Saying stiffer penalties would be served this year.
He hinted that the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) had been directed to arrest scapegoats as a deterrent to others.
Speaking on the demolition exercise at the Makoko area of the state, Sanwo-Olu insisted that evacuation notices had been served for over two years before the demolition to those within 150 meters to 250 meters of high-tension wires.
However, he restated his commitment to the safety of lives and the safeguarding of residents’ property in the state, noting that, as a compassionate government, affected residents would be given palliatives and relocation grants as compensation.
The governor emphasised that his administration would leave no stone unturned in ensuring the safety of the lives and property of Lagos residents.
