The nightmare being experienced by commuters on Agric-Ishawo and Igbogbo Roads in Ikorodu area of Lagos State will soon be a thing of the past, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu declared on Thursday.

The Governor said he felt the pains of residents plying the abandoned routes, but disclosed that contractors would be fully mobilised for reconstruction work on the two roads, which he described as “critical” to the state’s economic wellbeing.

Sanwo-Olu made the revelation while on an inspection tour of Rice Mill and Industrial Park project being developed by the state government at Imota.

He said: “We are aware of two major critical roads that are in Ikorodu Division; the Igbogbo Road and Agric-Ishawo Road. Once the heaviness of the rains subsides, which is likely to be in couple of weeks away, we expect that the contractor will fully re-mobilise to the sites.

“I appeal to residents to bear with us, but we will take responsibility of the rehabilitation of these important roads. Government is a continuum and we are going to fulfill our campaign promises to complete all abandoned projects. We are appealing to our teaming citizens in Ikorodu to be patient. We know how critical these roads are to their wellbeing.

“I had been on these roads before and I know the conditions they are presently. It is for the people to exercise patience because for road construction, we need to be very tactical to ensure there is no wastage in materials. Once the rain subsides a little bit, the contractor will be fully mobilised to sites and Lagosians will begin to see major improvement on the two artery roads in Ikorodu.”

The Governor was joined on the tour by his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, and Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, among other top government officials.

Long overdue... ikorodu road, ring road to bonnycamp...in fact everywhere in Lagos.. they should declare a state of emergency

Good

Dem never select commissioners for am?

thank you listening able governor

The focal point for this administration for now should be road causing unnecessary traffic. From toll gate to Abule Egba is so horrible. Abandoned inner roads should be fix too.

They said he has started work at tradefair abi underbridge road. Can anyone confirm?

Most roads in the mainland are dilapidated. They need urgent repair. The rains are causing havoc on the roads.

Tinibu puppet

That's what they'll say.....
Igbogbo Road is an eyesore no drainage...when there's little downpour the whole place gets flooded n it gets worse by the day.

I am now seeing the traits of showman in the new Governor of Lagos State than working. His first executive order was on sanitation, has anyone pass through Ekoro road down to command recently?

Does that mean ambode did nothing..

Oh less I forgot, he did bust stop.

Take heart...

Yes my brother, Oyo state PDP and Delta state PDP , they have not selected Commissioners for them too. Schmuck

Finally... The god of Lagos finally gave the go ahead.

It is like Ambode did nothing during his tenure, but some fools said he was the best Lagos Governor ever and blame Lagosians for kicking him out.

In other words lekki epe from Abraham adesanya estate up is dead

....I'm also waiting to get update ....sanwolu really has his hands full when it comes to road project

we ikorodu are waiting. that fat Albert was a disaster to ikorodu

They should first fix the little Agbaranje at ikotun before making noise.

Ok. It is noted.

That road needs urgent attention...!!

The road used to be very ok, before Amobode's government came up with the plan to expand the road in 2017, first phase was demolition of properties, thousands of people were rendered homeless. Next, the old roads were removed, and up till now 2019 nothing has been done.

I wonder what kind of government will put its citizens in pain just for their political interest.

I personally work in VI and I have to do a 30-45 minutes work form Asolo to Oriokuta bustop at 4 AM before getting vehicle to work. This is the routine when ever it raines. You can imagine the painful feeling, returning from work is the same to get home.

Not until the protests last month that got lagos state government's attention.

This is the present state
