OP, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT PIECE OF INFORMATE  . . . .  The roads are in dire need of some rigorous amending session . . . . This informate will be utilized to the fullest.

and BTW, this is a dynamic development from the Lagos State Government

Instead of people to use this service, they will come online to start complaining. Seun should put this on the Front page so people can make use of it.

Jason, am just seeing this for the first time and am sure thousands and even millions of Lagosians don't know about this . . .So if we complain . . .we are justified at that  . . But the good news is that we shall channel all our concerns to the appropriate quarters  . . .And expect more loud noise if this new channel of informate doesn't yield results

Let's be frank, [size=13pt]do they need people to complain before they know where bad roads are? [/size]

Let's be frank, do they need people to complain before they know where bad roads are? This is another level of bureaucracy.

If I put up a small signage in front of my office, the LG revenue officers show up before I blink my eyes. If I start digging the ground for the foundation of a new house, there are people who show up at the drop of a hat. There's no house, to my knowledge, which doesn't get Land Use charge. They paste posters of their candidates on all streets during campaigns. If they can do all these, how come they can't figure out bad roads (which is their work) and want people to do it for them? Isn't it a bit condescending because it's obvious they 'see' what they want to 'see'?

Besides, asking people to complain about roads suggests that some people would wrongly, deliberately or inadvertently, report bad roads. This means they would have to screen the requests, conduct site visits and write reports before the commencement of repair works. Isn't this some healthy bureaucracy when they already have a fault detecting mechanism (I suppose) in existence?

Are you talking about America, or are you talking about Nigeria?  At least you have the hotline now where there was none before, so they no longer have an excuse.  How many other state governments, or even the Federal government have a similar complaints line for bad roads?  Let's give credit to progress, unless you prefer the service to be withdrawn.
