Lagos State Government Removes Unapproved Street Gates In Lekki

At a town hall meeting In 2009 the Lagos State Government announced a policy on gates on public roads. It decided that street gates could be erected by residents, but they can only be shut between midnight and 5am and they must be manned by private security personnel who would open the gates for emergency service personnel in case the need arises.

The government once again ordered the removal of unapproved street gates late last year. See previous thread here https://www.nairaland.com/6299341/lagos-orders-removal-unapproved-street

The government has now started removing street gates that are closed during the day.
