The Lagos State Government, on Tuesday, declared enforcement of a zero tolerance on  all forms of street trading in Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island.

The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who made this declaration, added that henceforth no form of hawking, street trading and displaying of wares on walkways and setbacks will be allowed in the listed areas.

Wahab stated that the state environmental sanitation laws will be fully applied with mobile courts ready to dispense justice to all those who run foul of the law.

He stressed that the action was in line with the T.H.E.M.E.S. PLUS Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to promote a cleaner and greener Lagos, while ensuring total enforcement of the environmental sanitation laws and create a safer state for all.

The commissioner while sounding a note of warning decried the prevalence of traders at bus-stops, roundabout as well as  pedestrians bridges in the listed areas, defacing the aesthetics.

He noted that Lagos, a megacity becoming a smart city, had no place for street traders who not only constitute an eyesore to the aesthetics of the city and expose themselves to hazardous situations but also constituted a threat to the security of lives and property.

The latest enforcement drive against street traders in Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island will be sustained to restore the original masterplan of the areas.
