The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency has started using the piles of rubble evacuated from demolished buildings affected by the Sunday plane crash to fill potholes on streets around the crash site.

The move, however, aroused fears of epidemic among residents who felt that the rubble should have been taken out of the area.

Our correspondent, who was at the Iju-Ishaga area of the the site on Thursday observed that LASEMA used its excavation machines to fill the potholes, while the its officials spread the debris.

The streets, Tolulope, Adebayo, Popoola and Olaniyi were in a state of disrepair before the crash and were made worse by the heavy equipment used for rescue operation.

A resident, Dapo Ganiyu, an unemployed graduate, said many people in the area did not appreciate LASEMA’s effort.

He said, “There is no way that pieces of flesh will not be in the rubble. As you can smell for yourself, there are offensive odours everywhere. This is dangerous.”

Another resident, Alhaji Ayo Amidu, said the good intention of the state government could backfire as the rubble could cause epidemic in the area.

He said, “Many residents here have made the observation. I am sure that elders within the neighbourhood will do something about it. Don’t forget that people were pulled out from the initial rubble before the buildings were demolished.”

Assistant Chief Training Officer, NEMA, Mr. Olarewaju Kadiri, also dispelled the fear of epidemic, saying the areas were fumigated on Wednesday. According to him as they evacuate the rubble, more fumigation exercise will take place to prevent epidemic.

Not a good idea.

On a second thought, I should keep my mouth shut.

Utter nonsense . . . . Why use d rubble from the crash to fill pot holes ? Is our country so backward ? ? smh

Hmm...

No comment

Arosa:

Hmmm,hope those Lasema or whatever knws wat they re doing?cos i dnt see hw harmless such gesture is.Nigeria is yet to curb d bomb problem going on daily and which can be arrested or minimizes via strigent security measures,so we dnt need and epidemic that we cnt even trace d cure.God help us.

quack and inexperienceworkers at work.THis country is getting worse day by day

[color=#990000][/color] Not gud at all, that area is at risk of epidemic out break, Nigeria govt they love using human beings for experiment, y did they spread dat tin as if they dont knw wat it can course, they want ppl to die again, God will not allow it.

Administrative problems has completely ruined my country Nigeria. God help us In Jesus Name.

The government officials and workers are they all illiterates? Whats wrong with this country? How can you take rubble from a crash site where almost 200 people died to fill the roads around the area. First of all its disrespectful and second of all its a serious health hazard.

Is it now that they are seeing the potholes around that area? So Lagos now resorts in waiting for buildings to be destroyed before they can fix the roads in that area with the rubble from the destroyed buildings? People live there for christs sake. Families, children....... This is a serious health concern and another medical time bomb waiting to explode. We claim to be civilized. I spit on Lagos state, Nigeria and all its officials who think with their rear ends and not their brains. I just feel like fixing a very huge horn speaker on the roof of my vehicle and driving up and down our major streets of Lagos screaming F--CK THE GOVERNMENT! Because that is what they deserve.

I tink dat dis crash wud ve draw d state govt's attn to d poor state of road arnd dat area

In this case, LASEMA got it wrong.

When people starts getting sick and die, they will set up a committee to look into it, they will employ labor to do the fumigation. In the end, they will claim they have created more jobs is Lagos unemployed abi? which way Nigeria?

Yes. because your corruption has take you back to the stone age.

Shows dey don't ve value 4 human lives

You notice how most people are condemning the act without mentioning Fashola's name. I am sure that if NEMA had been the one managing this situation, we would have seen GEJ dragged into the incident by any means possible.

Definitely there will be pieces of flesh in the debris; why use it to fill pot-holes? Nigeria my country---which way?

Using rubbish to coverup inefficiency!

FASHOLA must stop this mess.

lukecent: I tink dat dis crash wud ve draw d state govt's attn to d poor state of road arnd dat area

If it had done dat .. Should d debris from a collapse aircraft with ova 150 lives be the right material for filling of potholes in a lagos residential environment. When we even talk about fumigation ow much do this quack know about standard fumigation and quarantine. .. The administration is so bleeped and I keep wondering when and how is Nigeria going to get better . Am more than disappointed.

Oh No! this just isnt right!
