Of all the banes confronting the economies of developing nations, not in the least, in point of candor, the fact of inconsistency in policy formulation. This inevitably flux in policy is not usually unconnected with the perpetually unstable government. Thus, a policy is dies with the exit of its proponent.
A seminal policy in Lagos state, Nigeria that may soon face extinction is the use of crash helmets and the unequivocal clamp down on illegal structures. This has no doubt engendered malice, backbiting and even open animosity towards the powers that be in the state. An in-depth venture into the claim of this policy will no doubt extricate the government from the acerbic criticism leveled against it .the need for demolition in Lagos cannot be over-emphasized. Indeed, it’s a step symptomatic of government’s foresight and spirited iconoclastic temper. The state has hitherto been unduly overcrowded, thus making life unbearable for residents and visitors. Land sellers and buyers are irredeemably way-ward that Lagos beach is ready to occupy a private estate of stinking rich millionaire. Lately, the state and its residents now heave a sigh of relief, as stumbling blocks are being bull-dozed. The fear as earlier pointed out is the threat on sustainability.
