The Lagos state Government and the FG are seriously considering relocating the popular Ikoyi Prison due to the environmental nuisance it's currently constituting in the state.

Speaking to the press, Dr Babatunde Adejare, Comissioner of Environment, said the Ikoyi prison built in 1955 is due for relocation.

“We also visited Ikoyi prison to see the challenge there. I can assure you that we will tackle it. We will see how we would work with the Federal Prison Service to ensure that we provide sewage system.

“There is a larger thing coming into play soon; that is relocation of the prison. The facility had passed its usefulness. The most valuable land in Africa is there. We should not have such in that location. We are discussing with the Federal Government to deal with the relocation.

“In the interim, the Lagos State Government will provide the prison with better sewage system. They can also relocate the facility when the prison is relocated. His Excellency will come out with the official statement,” he stated.

“There will be need to deepen some certain part of the roads within the estate. A lot of the Lagoon way flows into the estate whenever there are tidal waves. And that was why we have been sensitizing the public on climate change. The estates had existed over 30 years and the estate had never recorded such flood like this.

“There is an issue and we are saying it is climate change. Larger percent of the world water are kept as ice but they are melting at a high rate. As a government, we will work with the residents to address the issue,” he said. Do you think the 61-year-old prison should be moved?
