The Governor, who spoke through the Secretary to the State Government, Tunji Bello, at the 3rd Lagos State Emergency and Disaster Preparedness summit, with the theme: “Promoting and Sustaining Integrated Response to Emergencies within the Golden Hour,” said his administration would also apply sanctions as may be deemed necessary to those who run foul of the provisions.

The government, in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon. Muslim Folami, said the decision to shut down the market was based on the fact that it had become a security threat as well as a hideout for hoodlums who attack innocent citizens and commuters in the area.

Recently appointed Special Adviser to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Public Works and Drainages, Engr. Temidayo Erinle, who reeled out the roadmap at a press briefing held at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, said in the coming days, the State Government, through the Public Works Corporation, would carry out rehabilitation works on 43 major link roads across the State, while other major highways and arterial roads found to be in bad state would be fixed.

Governor Ambode, who led some members of the State Executive Council, lawmakers and other critical stakeholders to a meeting at the NERC’s headquarters in Abuja, said the embedded power project was designed as his administration’s flagship programme for direct intervention in the power value chain towards achieving 24-hour power for Lagos.
