Lagos State Government has warned the management of Power Holdings Company of Nigeria (PHCN) against further vandalisation of infrastructure especially on the recently upgraded Lagos Central Business District.
According to the Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Central Business District Oyinlomo Danmole, “the warning became necessary to stem the wave of indiscriminate vandalisation of roads and walkways in the name of carrying out repairs”.
He said further, “the PHCN officials are now in the habit of digging walk-ways to carry out repairs or lay underground cables without putting the damaged concrete walk-ways back in shape months after the so called repairs”. Examples of these diggings are noticeable on Broad Street (behind UBA headquarters), 152-156 Broad Street , 45 Marina and other major streets within the CBD.
Similarly, the Central Business District Office will soon embark on a major clamp down on traffic and sanitation offenders within the area. Major organisations like banks and other businesses operating within the Lagos CBD precinct that flagrantly disregard pedestrians’ right and the state government’s rule on indiscriminate parking on the walk-ways will henceforth be heavily sanctioned.
The Lagos Central Business District is the major hub of commercial activities in Lagos State and it extends from the foot of Carter bridge, westwards, through Adeniji Adele Road to Marina [ Inner and Outer] up to Tafawa Balewa Square, It continues to Broad Street, Odunlami Street, Tinubu Square, Nnamdi Azikiwe Street, Idumagbo Avenue, Ereko Street, Martins Street, Balogun Street back to Idumota and to Carter Bridge.
