About a month after two ministries, Lagos State Ministries
of Environment and Finance clashed at the computer village,
Ikeja, there is an indication that the problem has not been
resolved.
When the Ministry of Environment tried to evacuate a container
mounted across the drainage by the Ministry of Finance, one
of the directors from the latter ministry was literally mad,
while claiming that the governor had approved the location
of said container, therefore, it should not be removed.
In a chat last week with the Commander, Special Squad and
General Operations, Enforcement Unit, Akin Ogunlana, who led
the KAI team, he said that everything relating to that issue
is awaiting the final decision of the Commissioner of the
Environment, Muiz Banire.
He said, however, that the removal of the container would
prevent flood in the village.
Daily Sun’s observation revealed that officials of KAI
have dismantled almost all illegal structures and attachments
at the village in the last couple of weeks, but the particular
container from the Ministry of Finance has become ‘untouchable’.
