The Federal Government on Friday began demolition of illegal structures under some bridges in Lagos State. A NAN correspondent, who monitored the exercise, reports that the demolition exercise began with a fence built under the Apongbon Bridge on the CMS-bound carriageway on Lagos Island. Responding to the exercise, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Adedamola Kuti, told NAN on the telephone that the removal of illegal structures under bridges was a continuous exercise. He debunked claims by some people, who said they had approval to build structures under any bridge in Lagos State. Kuti said demolition of other illegal structures under bridges where notices had been served in the past would soon begin.
