For the avoidance of doubts, i sing Fashola praise to high heavens.
But like someone rightly pointed out, could nt this report card have been presented in LASU?
Why did he choose to sell himself and his team in Oxford?
Could nt he have achieved the same objective at home?
Can the guys in Oxford verify his claims that In the past three and a half years, as a city-state, we have built more roads than two of our neighbouring countries – Ghana and Sierra Leone even if that statement is bogus?
Who does he owe the duty of stewardship reporting, londoners or lagosians?

lnviting the British Government and investors to look toward Lagos and Nigeria for huge investment opportunities, Governor Fashola declared, " Nigeria as a country and Lagos as a State offer huge opportunity to British investors. I also look forward to partnership in areas of Education and I am hopeful that a university like Oxford can develop a partnership overseas with our state university and offer the same quality or training and certification in an institution based in Lagos .

Did you see the quote below? How can people at LASU help? Can people at LASU provide the needed dollars for the PPP or FDI? If you're seeking international "money" wouldn't you be canvassing such on an international stage?

The message look assuring,but Fashola has dashed my hope with all the bad state of roads,even BRT lane is not spared. It shows something is wrong with the design and construction. He has promised to do something about Ikorodu,nothing yet. Now getting out VI through Akindesola is herculean task and the flood every time it rains. BRF needs to go back to the drawing board.

Most potholes are formed due to fatigue of the road surface. As fatigue fractures develop they typically interlock in a pattern known as crocodile cracking. The chunks of pavement between fatigue cracks are worked loose and may eventually be picked out of the surface by continued wheel loads, thus forming a pothole…If a pothole fills with water the growth may be accelerated, as the water "washes away" loose particles of road surface as vehicles pass, However, potholes are a frequent occurrence anywhere in the world, including in the tropics…

@Wallie,I'm a science student sir,even if potholes will develop, the road must have a crevice. It is not few weeks after construction like we have in this part. When road or any facility is designed,there is provision for maintenance. How thick is our road before the final coat. Checkout what Julius Berger is doing at Oshodi axis and compare with Ccc? Malu road,Apapa is a good example of what a road should be,how many years now and it still motorable,despite heavy use by trailers and tankers. So what else do you want to say sir.  

Wallie:


Now, if you had originally said that you lost faith in Fashola because the roads that were newly-built already developed potholes, then you might have a point.

Do you see the difference?

Potholes will develop over time even on roads built with the best material money can buy. This is even more so in Lagos with its population and unregulated trailer traffic. In the US, some roads and bridges are closed to trailers, and all trailers have a weight limit so as not to damage interstate highways.

ikeyman00:


i will never buy those crap on bold!!

The weight limit for nearly all interstate highways is 40 tons. According to a government study, one 40-ton truck does as much damage to the road as 9,600 cars.

Omooba77:

So that is the difference sir.

safariman:

Fashola should be lecturing GEJ and all the governors

anonimi:

It is always refreshing to see that we Nigerians are capable of being civil in our discussions even when we initially disagree. I wish and hope more compatriots will do the same.
