THE Lagos State government, yesterday, accused Lagos State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of vandalising infrastructural and recreational facilities provided by the state government at the Gani Fawahinmi Park, Ojota, during a rally it held recently.
While conducting newsmen round the park, Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, expressed shock at the level of destruction, saying that this “was a big slap on the face of Lagosians whose tax was used in building the park.”
On the spot assessment of the park revealed that the platform and base of the late human right lawyer’s statue and the park railings were damaged, the entire lawn trampled on, while the solar light panels were also been vandalised.
Bello said: “Over the years, Lagos State Government had invested heavily in promoting greening culture, an effort which has won the state local and international recog-nition as a green city.”
