The Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has given a 2-day ultimatum to traders in Agege to vacate the train tracks.
The governor gave the ultimatum after paying a visit to the Agege Station of the Red Line Rail on Wednesday, September 27.
While addressing traders selling their wares on the train track, Sanwo-Olu said
“It is a government road that is why government built everything, it’s for transportation not for the market, am telling you now, I have given you two days’ notice, everyone selling chicken they are coming to pack everything next week, you can’t stay here it’s impossible that is the reason am came myself.
