 NIWA Pledges Zero Tolerance for Waterway Accidents The Chairman of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Alhaji Muktar Shagari, has vowed stricter enforcement of safety regulations and improved monitoring to curb accidents on Nigeria’s inland waterways. Shagari made the pledge on Thursday in Lokoja while resuming office, saying safety would be non-negotiable under his leadership and aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. He said the Board would prioritise tougher safety enforcement, enhanced monitoring systems and professionalism to prevent avoidable loss of lives on the waterways.

 LEKKI COASTAL ROAD: “CLEARING OF ILLEGAL STRUCTURES WILL BE A CONTINUOUS EXERCISE” - LAGOS TASKFORCE



The Lagos State Taskforce has carried out a follow-up clearing and mop-up operation at the Lekki Coastal Road in line with its mandate of ensuring a serene and habitable environment for residents within the axis through the removal of illegal structures and shanties used as hideouts by criminals.


The operation, carried out in the early hours of today and lasted about six hours, was led by the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Shola Jejeloye who later disclosed that 38 suspects were arrested during the exercise. 


Jejeloye further stated that the makeshift shanties by the roadside were demolished to ensure free vehicular movement along the route as well as rid the area of criminal hideouts.


The Chairman warned all squatters and unscrupulous elements to keep off the area or risk being arrested and prosecuted. He appealed to roadside traders to move their wares to the designated market complex rather than deface the streets and roads.

“Clearing of this area will be sustained for as long as it takes till we achieve our objective of creating a society that is safe and habitable for all residents and visitors”, Jejeloye averred.
