    On Wednesday, the Lagos State Government placed an absolute ban on street traders in the state, especially on the Third Mainland Bridge and Eko Bridge.

    This was disclosed in a statement by Gaji Omobolaji, the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services.

    Omobolaji, in the statement, declared zero tolerance for street trading in the areas.

    He emphasized that the action was in tune with the T.H.E.M.E.S. Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to promote a cleaner and more appealing environment, ensure full implementation of environmental sanitation regulations, and make the state a safer place for everybody.

    He therefore warned that anyone caught would face the full wrath of the law at the established Mobile Courts in line with the state environmental laws. In addition, their wares, which they hawk and display on major roads, would be confiscated.

    “The latest enforcement drive against street traders, when commenced, would be a continuous one that would also be sustained,” the statement added.

    He stated that street sellers were not only a nuisance to the aesthetics of the city and exposed themselves to hazardous conditions, but also posed a threat to the security of lives and property in Lagos, a megacity emerging into a smart city.

    He went on to say that the governor had approved the enforcement, which would be carried out by a special task team of the Kick Against Indiscipline in coordination with other security agencies.

      If street trading is a nuisance what about all these street urchins that are every where all over the state collecting all manner of tolls from commercial vehicles and causing traffic jam at major bus stops.
      Why is Lagos govt looking the other way when it comes to this ones. This is a case of double standard and is not good for progress in any society. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
      Lagos State govt ban street trading and ban street trading (alias owo mi da) and there will be more progress.
      God bless Lagos State
      God bless Nigeria.

      Instead of attacking poor hapless people in the name of “aeshetics”, why doesn’t the Governor address the problems which have driven these good hardworking folk into street-trading, namely the incompetence of previous Nigerian governments and the incompetence of his own government.

      In the 24 years from its independence, Singapore achieved far more than Lagos has under the Tinubu cabal, including Sanwo-Olu, in the 24 years since democracy returned to Nigeria; and I would guess far more than Nigeria has achieved in the 63 years since independence.

      At some point we are going to have to call a spade a spade and call mediocrity what it is: mediocrity. That point has to be now (it’s already late in the day – it should have been several years ago).
