Lagos Built Infrastructure Projects Worth N1.4billion In Agege Slum by EkoAtlantic: 2:15pm On Mar 26, 2013
The Lagos Metropolitan Development and Governance Project (LMDGP) has built infrastructure projects worth N1,461,699,541.53 in some communities in Agege  to lift the slum locations.

The completed projects are 16 standard roads  that covers Abimbola Street, Adenle, Ayeni, Church, Olusanya, Oremeji, Owo and Salawu Streets. Other projects are in  Salimotu, Soretire, Oyewole, Oguntade, Arigbanla and Ajiboye streest. They were executed by an indigenous contractor, Laralek Ultimate Limited.
Last week, the residents recounted their experiences before and after the completion of the various projects commissioned in their areas to The Nation.

Expressing their gratitude, the Chairman, Community Development Committee (CDC) in Agege Local Government Area, Comrade Toyin Balogun, singled out the construction of Olusanya Street as “one of the best things that have ever happened to the community”.

Stressing the importance of the road, Balogun hinted that one of the major problems confronting the community yearly is flood. “But with the completion of Olusanya Street, including the drainage facilities, Agege is no longer afraid of rain”.
The CDC chair also extolled the management of LMDGP for the proposed construction of block of schools in the area.

Chairman, Agege Local Government, Hon Abdul Kareem Jubril hailed the intervention by LMDGP, noting that it has not only provided the needed infrastructure in the local government, but also checked vandalism  and other vices the area was synonymous with before.
He said many young people are now gainfully engaged either as environment vanguards or in other useful ventures due to the presence of the needed infrastructure.

Expressing similar view, Bishop Julius Olusanya, while commending the efforts of the agency in the provision of the amenities, said the health care centres, road projects and the proposed block of classrooms would obliterate the toga of the blighted area that Agege has been wearing for a long time.

At Orile Agege, CDC Chairman, Mr Funsho Akindehin, urged the LMDGP to hasten the completion of the classrooms to be constructed in Oyewole area and Methodist School.

“While we are expressing the gratitude of the community member to the LMDGP and the Governor of Lagos State, we want to specifically ask for the construction of Ogundele and Olowookere streets.

“What Olusanya Street is to the people of Agege Local Government is what Ogundele and Olowookere streets are to us in Orile Agege. Therefore, we urged the LMDGP to include it in their projects, reconstruction of these roads.

The Vice Chairman of Orile Agege Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Julius Olusanya pledged that his council will complement the efforts of government by insisting that vehicles are not abandoned on the roads, discourage street trading and indiscriminate dumping of refuse.

Lagos state's budget is the most scrutinized in Nigeria..





Lagos, civil society to analyse budget via twitter



[b]


Civil society groups in Lagos are set to engage the state government on the latter’s 2013 budget next week.

The groups, under the Lagos state Civil Society Partnership (LACSOP), said the move is in line with its citizens’ engagement project aimed at strengthening leadership and accountability in governance.

The engagement, which would hold via twitter on the LACSOP account –twitter.com/LACSOP using the Hashtag #LAGBUDGET, is designed to provide opportunity for stakeholders in Lagos to seek clarification through virtual dialogue on the specific direction of the 2013 budget of the state.

The event, which is supported by the State Accountability and Voice Initiative (SAVI), a programme of the Department for International Department (DFID), is the first of its kind in the state and is expected to attract media representatives and a large number of civil society organisations in Lagos state.

The tweets will feature raising salient points on the Lagos State 2013 budget and tasking representatives of the government to respond to queries on the budget.

Ayo Adebusoye, Coordinator of LACSOP, while shedding light on the conference, said the citizens have to cultivate the culture of asking questions on how the government is running the affairs of the state since tax payers money is expended during budget implementation.[/b]

According to him, the intention of the organisers is to open a dialogue channel between the people and government.

The Lagos State appropriation bill of N499 billion was signed into law on December 31 2012 by Governor Babatunde Fashola.

Representatives of the government are expected to explain grey areas, thereby promoting accountability.

LACSOP on the other hand, will help provide needed information to enable citizens better understand the government’s intentions and ask pressing questions.

Felix Obanubi, state team leader for SAVI, said his organisation is concerned with giving voice to the people, through advocacy partners like LACSOP.
