President Muhammadu Buhari is billed to commission three helicopters
purchased by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration as part of
efforts to beef up security in the state.
Meantime, the state government has disclosed plans to rehabilitate
189 identified deplorable roads, including the Ilasa-Ijesha bus stop,
along Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
General Manager, Lagos State Public Works Corporation, Engr. Ayo
Shodeinde disclosed this yesterday, at Aluasa, Ikeja, while giving
highlights of the state government’s efforts in the area of road
infrastructural upgrade in the last six months.
Buhari, who will be visiting Lagos officially for the first time
since his inauguration, will be handing over the helicopters to the
police authorities for immediate operation.
Shodeinde, while giving the update on the total number of roads
rehabilitated so far, explained that
Ambode has approved rehabilitation
of 189 new roads across the state.
He added that despite the N52 billion being owed the state for the
total number of federal roads fixed in the past, the state government
since June 15, 2015, had rehabilitated 282 roads, “while 189 new roads
have been listed for rehabilitation and construction work will soon
commence.”
“When the Federal government repays us the debts, we will be able to rehabilitate more roads in the state.” Shodeinde said.
One of the deplorable roads listed for rehabilitation, Shodeinde said
is the Ilasa-Ijesha Bus stop, along Apapa Oshodi Expressway which has
recently turned into nightmare to motorists.
