The Lagos State Government on Friday said it had begun the immediate repair of over 87 roads across the state.
In a statement by the Lagos State Public Works Corporation and Drainage, it said the roads mapped out for repair were in terrible state and impeded the free flow of traffic.
It listed them as Ikotun-Egbe road, Ijegun road, Alimosho and Dopemu roads, Aka-Kemberi road, Amuwo Odofin; Marina-Beach road, Apapa; Olaniyi road in Ifako Ijaiye, Acme-Oba Akran road and Ikeja.
Other roads also listed include Ijede road, Sabo market road in Ikorodu, Costain road by Brewery, Glover road, Herbert Macaulay road in the Mainland Local Government Area, Itire-Ogunlana drive intersection, Itire-Lawanson, Babs Animashaun road in Surulere, Alakija/WAEC road, Somolu, Obalende Road, Eti-Osa, among others.
The statement signed by the Public Affairs Officer of the agency, Abayomi Oladapo, read in part, “We have received quite a number of complaints from residents and motorists on the state of the roads and how it was directly affecting travel time which in turn has negative effects on the ease of doing business in the state.
“The governor has therefore directed the Public Works Corporation to move immediately and commence repair on those roads to ameliorate the traffic that residents have been going through as a result of the state of the roads.” PUNCH.
