‘We will no longer tolerate street trading’


Ikorodu Local Government Executive Secretary, Wasiu Adesina has warned traders to stay off the streets.


Adesina said the council would no longer tolerate street trading and illegal parking of vehicles.


He spoke while inaugurating a 10-man Task Force on street trading and illegal parking in the secretariat, Ikorodu.


The council chief said no meaningful development would take place in a society of lawlessness, chaos and disorderliness.


“It is only with orderliness, sanity and decorum that any society can move forward economically and socially,” he said.


He said it is the duty of the government to protect citizens.


The members of the committee include Neighbourhood Watch Lagos State Coordinator, Alhaji Kola Sanni as chairman, Divisional Police Officer Igbogbo Police Station, Mr Remi Adesoye, the Coordinator, Onyabo Security Organisation, Chief Kamorudeen Bombata and the Iyaloja-General, Ikorodu local government, Alhaja Taofeekat Allyson.


Others are the Serikin-Hausa in Ikorodu, the Eze Ndi-Ngbo of Ikorodu, Mr Tunji Owolabi, a journalist with Radio Lagos, among others.


Alhaji Saani said there would not be any form of nepotism, favouritism or undue preference for anubody, stating that “the law is no respecter of any individual”.


He urged members to maintain their dignity and integrity which the society has always known them for.


Representing the new Ayangburen of Ikorodu, the Lisa of Ikorodu, Chief Zacheus Odusoga thanked the council chief for the initiative.
