ENIOLA OLORUNOSEBI urges Gov. Dapo Abiodun to restore order in border towns near Lagos
Let me begin by commending your administration for the bold and much-needed initiative to transform road infrastructure in Ogun State’s border communities, particularly those adjacent to Lagos. The roadwork currently underway is a clear signal that Ogun is prepared to reposition itself as a hub of progress, mobility, and economic growth. For far too long, these towns—densely populated yet poorly regulated—have existed in a state of neglect. Your intervention is long overdue and deeply appreciated.
However, while these infrastructural projects are praiseworthy, I write to call your attention to an equally urgent and escalating crisis—one that affects the very quality of life of your citizens: the environmental and regulatory chaos that defines life in many of these border communities, most especially the Lambe-Akute axis.
