Exchange Between Ilemona Onoja And Tokunbo Wahab

Tokunbo Wahab is the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources.

Ilemona Onoja is a former aide to former Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki and a member of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign council.

Jubril Gawat is the senior special adviser on new media to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Tokunbo Wahab:
After the inspection tour of System 156 and 157 Channel yesterday, we have issued a seven-day contravention notice to owners of buildings lying within the seven metres drainage setback on Orchid Rd, Agungi, Ajiran, Conservation Road, Osapa, Oral Estate II, all along the Ikota River.

We cannot keep lampooning the government for flooding when developers, builders & residents are the main cause of flooding; we shall continue to enforce because that is why laws are made. Without law and order, there cannot be development. Enough of this bad behaviour!

We also visited Chevron Drive, where a stop work order was issued to Gravitas company, owners of Grace Ville Island & Pocket Island.

We urge Lagosians to respect the State Drainage Master Plan to avoid property demolition as there is no going back on the decision of the state to enforce the law and reclaim Drainage setbacks following the expiration of the notices issued.

Ilemona Onoja:
Any demolition exercise without the arrest & prosecution of the govt officials who gave illegal building approvals & certificates of occupacy renders makes this a wicked & vindictive exercise.

Tokunbo Wahab:
It is not enough to make a lame assumption. If you know anyone with building approval, help them post and tag us. Thanks!

Ilemona Onoja:
Ok. I’ll def do so. Thank you.

Seyi Omidina:
Hope there’ll be a penalty for fake documents tagging sir?

Tokunbo Wahab:
DEFINITELY!
