THE Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has warned traders along railway tracks to evacuate their goods within two days.
According to media reports, Sanwo-Olu made the charge during a visit to the Agege station of the Red Line Rail Project, where he addressed some traders, saying that the railway was not a marketplace and did not want any loss of lives.
In his words: “This is not a market. It is a government road for transportation. I’m giving you two days to leave this place because we’re coming to clear everything next week.
“You can’t trade here at all. That is why I came to tell you myself. I want all of you out of here.
“We have spent a lot on this place for transportation. Trains will be passing here almost every ten minutes, and I don’t want lives to be wasted.”
Recall that Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, September 4, 2023, launched the maiden commercial passenger operation on the Blue Light Rail, which will run from the CMS terminal to Mile 2.
