Serious governor who has already hit the ground working. Not like the useless ihedioha still chasing the buffoon called rochas and demolishing his projects. |

Folks do not need to go all the way to Ibadan...
Ogun State is already the “New Jersey” to Lagos’ “New York”.
The reality is that many parts of Ogun State have effectively become ‘suburbs’ of a huge sprawling Lagos Megapolis, and many folks who work or otherwise do business in Lagos but seek cheaper housing or land have elected to reside in Ogun State. This has been particularly given a boost with the network of 21 border roads and bridges completed in the border areas of Alimosho under Amobode, as well as the ongoing project to add a BRT lane to the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway all the way to Ota Toll Gate. Accordingly, many Lagos-based manufacturers have relocated or built new factories in Ogun State (Agbara and Ota especially) while maintaining their corporate offices in Lagos.
PS: In respect of the new Dangote Refinery, one would think that the new multi-tiered Alaro City being developed in Ibeju under a PPP arrangement with Rendeavor, which is reputedly Africa’s biggest new city developer, will absorb most of the new population of the LFTZ.
> I know ogun state has been helping with taking in the excess population. But it's really just a drop of water in the ocean. More states need to become industrialized so that job seekers migrate and the overall population of the country can be evenly spread out. |

Even if it's 20 years or better still they begin to build
concrete roads. At least that way we save more money
over time. Blatant lies once purported by Dangote...Concrete roads wouldn't last longer than Coal tar roads as long as both have similar strengths. Meanwhile Concrete roads are bloody expensive n isn't worth it. No road in Lagos will last 20 years no matter how strong they are. Roads are built for cars n trucks to run on dem, not for cars n truck to sit on dem |

It's on verifiable record that concrete roads actually outlive asphalt roads though as you said 'they are more expensive'. 1 Like |

Is it impossible for the state or federal government

a 50 year time frame before any major repair is carried
out again on these roads to the contractors? What will it

not make sense to continue spending scarce resources

The Lagos State Public Works Corporation, LSPWC, has urged Lagos residents to be patient as it doubles efforts to fix potholes and ensure roads remain motorable as we approach the last quarter of the year.
The General Manager of the Corporation, Engr. Olufemi Daramola disclosed this yesterday during a chat with news correspondents on the activities of the Corporation since mid-June 2019.
He said LSPWC is fully aware of the situation of roads in the State and efforts are in top gear to alleviate the discomfort commuters encounter on some of the bad roads, emphasising that the Corporation is determined to rehabilitate all damaged roads in furtherance of the Executive Order of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
He explained that palliatives with boulders and crushed stones were done at Oke-Afa, Isolo, Ejigbo, Ikotun-Ijegun axis, Oba Sekumade and Bayeku Road at Ikorodu, Ahmadu Bello Way and other similar strategic roads, adding that the Corporation also graded Ikorodu Road and Mile 12 inward Ketu on Tuesday to reduce travel time and ameliorate the trouble commuters experience on the axis pending a permanent solution.
While noting that challenging road situations ranging from potholes, isolated potholes, craters and failed portions of roads across all the Local Governments preceded his assumption of office, he revealed that a lot of resources to repair non-functional equipment and plants have been invested by the present administration.
Daramola assured residents that the State government is working hard to ensure that pot-holes on major roads are drastically reduced or totally eliminated, and in cases where they occur, the response rate by the Agency would be faster, stressing that some of the roads have outlived their life span.
The General Manager also acknowledged that the number of bad roads in Lagos is high and must be done in phases according to the level of importance, emphasising that the Corporation has a strong mandate to get rid of potholes
in the city within the shortest possible time.

Fixing the pot holes without freeing the drainages is equal to waste of resources as waters will spoil it again and again |

Those workers in the picture are not properly dressed for the job they are doing. The should be wearing PPE safety clothes, overalls, helmets and strong steel toe cap boots. I can't understand why a State Government Agency will allow its workers to dress like this for a job in open weather. Something needs to be done about my observation. Thanks. |

Nope, he didn’t...
If he did, how would they be working today? Even before Sanwo-Olu’s first budget?
The only difference is that under Ambode, LSPWC would mostly send out in work gangs at night.
Go and do your research. They were rendered useless umder ambode, that was why most of the imner city roads are in shambles. There was no maintenance, which was the job of the LSPWC.

No road in Lagos will last 20 years no matter how strong they are. Roads are built for cars n trucks to run on dem, not for cars n truck to sit on dem actually, concrete roads can last up to times longer than asphalt. But then considering the cost and our own culture of infrastructure misuse, it's truly not worth it. |
