Operatives of the Drainage Enforcement and Compliance Department from the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources have issued a stop work order to a developer along System 156 behind Victoria Crest Estate II in the Lekki area of the state.
The directive was issued due to the developer’s unauthorised activities, including illegal sand filling of the channel which was carried out without obtaining the necessary approval from the state authorities.
The Commissioner, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, shared photos on his X handle to make this known on Friday, December 1.
