     The Lagos State Government has given a 21-day ultimatum to owners of bonded terminals in Ajegunle, Ajeromi Ifelodun area of the State to vacate their current locations.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Prince Rotimi Ogunleye disclosed this on Monday after a closed-door meeting with the Commissioner of Police Mr. Edgal Imohimi and owners of the terminals at the State Police Command Ikeja.
Ogunleye, who attended the meeting in company of the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Security Mr. Yinka Akinrinde, also directed trailers parked on various Streets in Ajegunle and Olodi Apapa to vacate the Streets, stressing that the bonded terminals are located in residential areas thereby conflicting with the State’s Urban and Regional Planning Law.
He said the illegal siting of the terminals had disrupted the socio-economic lives of the people of Ajegunle and its environs, causing hardship to motorists.
Recall that the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode had on the 26th of July 2018 led a team of members of the State Executive Council and Security operatives to the premises of the terminals and ordered their immediate closure.
