The founder of Nuli Juice Company, Ada Osakwe, a Tony Elumelu Foundation Fellow, moved into her store six weeks ago. She shared a video on her Instagram page describing how the shops were demolished yesterday by the Lagos State government over non-payment of permits to the tune of N40 million...
"Even Squatters have rights!! How do you show up at 8.30am with bulldozers and armed police to terrorize shop owners, and then proceed to level their stores and property to the ground!!! With NO PRIOR NOTICE!!! Was told that the landlord did not have his paperwork. And was given notice in March. Okay then, so why didnt you raise it to the ground then? Why did you wait for businesses like @nulijuice to move in in July, only 6 weeks ago, only to show up and destroy them!!! @nulijuice has paid all LASAA fees, all LASG fees for food safety, etc and ALL taxes!!! You didnt seal up the shops and inform the tenants. NO, you demolished them in grand style.

Most of the commercial customers, especially, hoteliers engage in meter bypass which is economic sabotage. Eight-five percent of the prepaid meters installed in the region were bypassed. So, this time, we are installing smart pole meters which will be difficult to bypass.” “Once the smart pole meters are tampered with, it will trigger an alarm and we will know that something is wrong. Customers do not need to climb poles to recharge. The system has been made a lot easier for them to recharge from the comfort of there homes. We have discarded all the prepaid meters and customers with old prepaid meters will not be meant to pay for the smart pole meters. “The management is bent on terminating the appointment of any staff found adopting imperialist disposition to customers. Any act of corruption and illegal deals will not be condoned because this is a private business built on the threshold of integrity and performance driven.”
