After a Security Council meeting, one of several, over this matter, months of advocacy and consultations, the government of Lagos State decided to pull the brakes on what many called “the Okada menace”. In the Lagos State UniversityTeaching Hospital (LASUTH) alone, 1,020 cases were recorded in 2019. The local governments are also not the densely populated areas, such as Alimosho, Ikorodu, Mushin and others where the masses of our people live. The Greater Lagos journey on which we have embarked will not be realized when law and order are compromised. If there are pains today, the coming gains will surely drown them as we march to our dream of a Greater Lagos.
