Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the demolition of Jankara and Bombata Markets on Lagos Island of the State, noting that the regeneration of the entire Lagos Island has begun.
Sanwoolu also hinted that Pelewura Market on Lagos Island will soon be brought down after due consultation with other stakeholders.
The governor who went round some streets in Lagos Island on Sunday towards addressing the problem of flooding in the area said the Ilubirin Pumping Station will be completed by January.
Shortly after the tour, the Governor told newsmen that illegal occupants on the drainages and indiscriminate dumping of refuse would not be tolerated.
Sanwo-Olu said the regeneration plan would offer the State Government the opportunity to review the Phase 2 of Adeniji Adele Road construction from Idumagbo Junction to Ebute Ero, stressing that the project would proffer solutions to flooding problem experienced on the stretch.
