No hating! But I think Ambode is overhyped.... Wike has done all this things in a quiet way.

…Commissions Lay-By, Slip Road in Alapere


Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday flagged off a week long commissioning of 114 roads newly constructed in all the 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State, with a pledge to commence the construction of second round of another 114 roads across the State soon.
The construction of the inner roads, which is an initiative of the Ambode administration and in fulfillment of his campaign promise, was geared towards massive intervention on access and link roads, boost security and increase the socio-economic well-being of residents of the State.
The newly constructed 114 roads which were designed with walkways, medians, street lights and standard drainage systems, were selected two per each of the 57 LGs and LCDAs in the State.
Speaking at the formal flag off of the commissioning ceremony in Ikorodu North LCDA, Governor Ambode said the remarkable feat was not only an eloquent confirmation of a promise kept, but a testimony of the popular saying that nothing can stop a people who have resolved to move forward.
The Governor, who was represented by his deputy, Dr, Mrs Idiat Oluranti Adebule, recalled the contract of hope which he signed with the people during the electioneering and his inaugural speech, adding that the completion of the 114 roads was a glorious dawn of community development accelerated through inclusive governance and a historic leap of faith for his administration and the citizens.
“This means that the road network in our State of Excellence has increased by 56.1 Kilometers. It means that we have added 112 Kilometres of walkways and covered drains. And it means additional 56.1 kilometres of our roads are being lit by independent powered street lights to improve the security of our neighborhoods, the visibility of pedestrians, commuters and motorists as well as creation of a night economy.
“At a time the national economy is facing financial challenges, our administration is able to inject over N19 billion into the economy of our State, stimulating employment and engaging the business sector.

“No fewer than 89 local companies executed the road project with thorough supervision by the communities and government. About 5,700 direct jobs were created for professionals, artisans and laborers in the construction industry. A larger number of people, approximately 10,000 suppliers and dependants felt the positive impact of this stimulus package in their lives,” Governor Ambode said.

Giving an insight as to how the roads were selected, the Governor said in line with the principle of civic engagement of his administration, Community Development Associations (CDAs) were encouraged to suggest the roads requiring construction according to their needs, adding that the CDAs were also motivated to participate in the monitoring of the projects with the view to taking ownership on completion.

He said Jimoh Street in Ikorodu North LCDA which was the first to be commissioned, was one of the community driven projects, adding that the road was picked as the first to be commissioned in appreciation of the diligence of the contractor, DC Engineering for being the first to complete the project within the stipulated six months. He said the road, no doubt, would go a long way in improving the State and make it a preferred investment destination worldwide.
Besides, Governor Ambode said the 114 roads would be an annual rite to make Lagos a true megacity, adding that the process for the second round of the 114 road projects had already begun, and urged the residents to be part of it and guard the infrastructures being provided by government jealousy.

In a similar development, Governor Ambode also commissioned the Ketu-Alapere Lay-by and 700m concretized Slip Road, saying that it was another mission statement of his administration’s commitment to making life better for residents and investors in the State.


Speaking through his Deputy, the Governor said that the new look of Alapere-Ketu Lay-By, was characterized by the construction of a two-lane access road from Iyana Oworo inwards Alapere-Ketu that would relieve traffic flow towards Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and Ojodu-Berger axis.

He said that provision was also made for pedestrian safety with the integration of a two-metre wide walkway and drainage on one side of the lay-by access inwards Alapere-Ketu, to ensure that vehicular movement is not impeded by pedestrians.

Governor Ambode urged transport unions to educate their members on observation of State Traffic Laws and road etiquette for the safety of all, saying that the provision of the lay-by will considerably reduce travel time for all motorists therefore, commercial vehicles have no cause to create gridlocks in order to get to their destinations.

Apart from being concretized, the Slip Road also comes with horticulture, artworks, walkways, covered drains and street lights, and is designed to last for at least 25 years.

It's really an era of change, we are experiencing a lot of changes. And with the recently released 2016 Batch B timetable, it's obvious that their orientation camp will either be next year or stream 1 gets to leave dis year while stream 2 leaves next year. NYSC is casted

Dream2:
I might be wrong though but that's not a winning XI,the same line up that bluffed against swansea and watford until Fabregras came in to saved the team with his midfield creativity and assists.
Conte is a good tactician but he need to climb down from his high horse to get what the team really want which is creativity and maximum 3points.
I just pray there won't be any mutiny among the players for his preferences as it will be too early to start picking broken bottles.

larride:
This party no even sweet. mtchew

Dream2:
Bringing on Fabregas as a late substitute is like taking panadol after death,Conte preference will continue to land Chelsea in trouble as the season progress.

CandiceJay:
To correct my earlier comment. We would not be passing out at the same time. It starts with d present batch B. Era of change, everything is changing. Batch B stream1 will be passing out in October while stream 2 is in November.

DTOBS:
Lol... Olopa go shepe when his family are dying...

DTOBS:
This is the kind of change you want me to believe begins with me?

Only God will repay you for what you've made us to pass through in the last 1yr +


If you like, defend your dullard president! Na thunder go fire all of Una together

Larynx:
Chai!!!! He can't be fined ma.... He can only be found

Bimffo:
Its Match day, Guys.

1st real test of the Season.

Lets keep our Heads high..

Hope we get 3 Points at the Bridge today..

Hope Conte starts Fab today to add creativity to that team.

And we Hope our Dear Hazard is in top form and will decides quickly like he does against Liverpool.

Others will fall in place.

Na blame game go happen until God knows when..let me let you in on a secret..

If oil price rises up to just 70 dollars I bet you this administration would just go back to sleep..

They have nothing to offer..the oyel money is just the ish bro reason for all these running around with blame games..

Na God go punish multichoice and NBC. Corruption killed Hitv because I'm sure multichoice bribed them to rule in their favor.

My Hitv dish and strong decoder just waste like that. The EPL was the main market. And multichoice did all they could to block them from getting it. I'm sure they might even be the ones that blocked the bank from giving them the money on Tuesday. Hitv was willing to share but dstv refused to. Such is life.

Our Nigerian government killed our Nigerian company. What is stopping the ministry of information from investing in the company. Probably there's no one to bribe them. Useless set of people.

I just wish there can be another indigenous company that can rival those useless multichoice. So they can stop collecting my 14k per month.

Really?

Now imagine Baba Lukman who is not a party member but he is an influential member of the community. If Baba Lukmam decides to campaign for candidate X, the people he can influence about 5-7 people who are likely to vote for that candidate. Now imagine one person has a thousands "Baba Lukmans" who just sit and wait for who the leader of that structure leans towards. That is a sure 5-7 thousand votes right?

Now of the 5-7 thousand, 4 thousands of them are also mini "Baba Lukmans" and have influence over 5-7 people each……do the maths

Mynd44:
Elections are won using structures and finances everywhere in the world. Tinubu has both.

Well greased structures that are waiting to be activated media guys, social media people just waiting for instructions and money to spend on campaign materials for media etc

Akeredolu does not have these. It is also what differentiates those times Buhari lost to when he lost to when he won.

Same reason why a relatively unknown Ambode won Jimi Agbaje.
Reason why Fashola won Obanikoro
Reason why Ribadu lost Adamawa
Etc.
