48-Hour Ultimatum for Lagos Bridge Traders: Government’s Next Steps Explained
The Lagos State government has reportedly issued a 48-hour ultimatum to traders operating under bridges in the city, ordering them to vacate the premises. This decision is part of an ongoing effort by the state government to address environmental concerns and traffic congestion caused by such informal trading activities.
The traders have been urged to relocate to designated markets to ensure their activities do not disrupt public order or safety. If they do not comply with the ultimatum, they may face forceful eviction and other legal consequences. This move aligns with the government’s larger urban planning and sanitation goals for the state.
