Barely 48 hours after he vowed to remove the controversial tollgate erected on the Lekki/Aja Expressway if elected governor of Lagos state, the PDP Governorship Candidate, Mr Jimi Agbaje today declared that he will return landed properties illegally acquired to their owners.
Agbaje made the promise at a town hall meeting with the people of Ibeju Lekki at the Eleko Beach Hall, on Lagos Island.
He also promised to pay adequate compensation to those whose lands were acquired for government projects but were not well compensated.
“Some of the lands acquired were turned into private property of some officials including the ones designated as cemetery.
“Some of these lands were acquired in the guise of using them for industrialisation but ended up as private estates,” he alleged.
The PDP candidate also said that he would take advantage of the aquatic nature of the area to improve the economy of Lagos State.
“This will translate to an ocean economy that transforms the lives of the indigenes,” he said.
