Lagos State Government has said it is inspecting sagging and dropped cables in the Lekki area from staring from today as part of a full-scale enforcement in parts of the state.
Lagos shifts clampdown on telecoms cables to Lekki
A recent inspection in the Agege area earlier this month uncovered authorised cables, prompting LASIMRA to take action. This has now shifted their attention to the Lekki Area.
Earlier this month, the agency emphasised the importance of obtaining its approval before making any changes to government infrastructure. LASIMRA further explained that it is so to ensure that projects are carried out in accordance with its regulatory requirements, and to promote the safety and sustainability of public infrastructure.
