The Lagos State Government and Agege Local Government have warned beggars and traders on the rail tracks along Agege corridor to vacate the areaREAD FULL ARTICLE
The warning came as the council held an enlarged stakeholders meeting on Sunday with some community members, ahead of planned demolition of illegal structures.
Mr Afolabi Ayantayo, the Lagos State Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pension, in his remarks at the meeting, said that information had been received on various criminal activities being carried out along the rail corridor.

He said that shanties were harbouring criminals who were attacking passers by and residents at night.
“Government has invested a lot of money on the rail project and we don’t want anybody to sabotage and deface the infrastructure.
” That is why we are educating and warning the people involved to vacate the area before enforcement begins,” he said.
The commissioner appealed to the community and market leaders to enlighten the residents and traders to shun trading on the railway lines to avoid being arrested.
According to him, the joint enforcement will soon begin and anybody arrested will face the wrath of the law.
Dr Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, said he had been at the rail corridor to sensitise residents on proper sanitation and need to avoid the rail track for trading.
Obasa, who was represented by Mr Jubril AbdulKareem, a member of Lagos State House of Assembly representing Agege II, said government would come with full force to demolish shanties after the stakeholders meeting.
“We need to understand the reason government is doing this enforcement, it is for our safety and for our benefit.

“The railway is for the benefit of the people, not for trading, and the bridges are not meant for begging and for commercial purposes.”
Chief Ganiyu Egunjobi, the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government, earlier in his speech, said that enforcing and holding people accountable for their actions would now be the priority of the government on the railway line.
“Our main focus is to provide health environment for everyone, to protect the infrastructure and resources and to provide security and dignity of the residents,” he said.
