Coastal road, Lagos residents protest planned demolition of their properties

The protesting residents, numbering about 100, said their properties had been marked for demolition and urged the government to shelve the plans.

Leading the protesters, Saheed Olukosi, urged the government to follow due process in handling the matter by reverting to the original gazetted Right of Way (RoW).

Olukosi said that the community had checked at the Ministry of Physical Planning and had got confirmation that their buildings did not encroach on the RoW of the coastal road alignment.
