Governor Sanwo-Olu Gives Traders Three Days Ultimatum To Vacate Apongbon Bridge

By Akinwale Kasali

Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu of Lagos State is set to wield the big stick at defiant traders who have, so far, failed to vacate the Apongbon Bridge, in Lagos Island area of the State.

The Lagos State Governor has, therefore, given them a Three-day ultimatum to vacate.

Issuing the ultimatum,  Sunday Night, Sanwo-Olu said traders on the bridge and under the bridge should, with immediate effect, vacate, or risk demolition of the space by Wednesday, April 27th, 2022.

While inspecting the Blue Line Rail, Governor Sanwo-Olu gave the warning while driving on the bridge.

He saw that traders were back under the bridge with their goods displayed after being driven away after a fire outbreak under the Apongbon bridge about six weeks ago.

The Governor frowned at the unlawful return of the traders under the bridge, saying that the enforcement team would be deployed to the bridge after the three-day ultimatum  expires.
