The Lagos State Government has begun immediate repairs of potholes across the State, with over 87 major roads enlisted for intervention.

Special Adviser, Lagos State Public Works Corporation and Drainage, Engr. Temidayo Erinle, in a statement on Friday, said the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode had directed that the Corporation should commence immediate rehabilitation of critical roads across the State.

He said the roads mapped out for repair were presently in terrible state, and that the situation was impeding free flow of traffic in those areas with its attendant consequences.

"We have received quite a number of complaints from residents and motorists on the State of the roads and how it was directly affecting travel time which in turn has negative effects on the ease of doing business in the State.

"The Governor has therefore directed the Public Works Corporation to move immediately and commence repair on those roads to ameliorate the traffic that residents have been going through as a result of the State of the roads," he said.

Erinle, however, appealed to residents and motorists to bear with the State Government, urging them to drive carefully while the roads are being fixed.

He assured that in the next few weeks, all the potholes would disappear on Lagos roads.

Some of the roads captured for immediate repair include Ikotun-Egbe, Ijegun Roads, Alimosho and Dopemu Roads, Aka-Kemberi Road, Amuwo Odofin, Marina Beach Road, Apapa, Olaniyi Road in Ifako Ijaiye, Acme-Oba Akran Road and Ikeja.

Other roads also listed include Ijede Road, Sabo market Road in Ikorodu, Costain Road by Brewery, Glover Road, Herbert Macaulay Road in Mainland Local Government, Itire-Ogunlana drive intersection, Itire-Lawanson, Babs Animashaun Road in Surulere, Alakija/WAEC Road, Somolu, Obalende Road, Eti-Osa, among others.''

Concerning some roads not yet captured in the above list of roads, kindly note that no part of the State would be left unattended to, it is just a matter of fixing these roads in batches, your area will definitely receive due attention in no distant time.

When will they do something about inner city roads? It's like Ambode has forgotten these roads exist and the LGA chairmen don't care either

This kain government sef

Its a Positive Development.
However , Contractors tend to siphon off funds and use cheap materials. Road construction is the prime food for corruption.

Transparency and monitoring of materials used etc. must be done to ensure that funds are being used properly.

Potholes arise due to tar roads using cheap materials. Cement roads are a more viable option in the long run.


I hope President Jubril Al-Sudan will look into this matter.

LGA chairmen only care about their pockets. Nothing more.

Make your voice heard then. Snap them and put on social media

Repairing roads when its about time to go
Polithiefcians in Nigeria trying to squeeze the last drop before handing over

At last! Where will they start and where will they end.
The whole entire lagos roads are in a mess, especially on the mainland.
I've observed that Local Governments don't function in lagos. Wonder why Tinubu was in a hurry to create more, when they're not functional.

Why does Nigeria even have Local Governments? They do virtually NOTHING!

Ordinarily, the task of filling potholes, garbage removal/waste management, primary schools, etc., should be that of LGs. SMH

Shithole...

Local government chairmen should be sanctioned for the state of inner road in the last 6months and counting.

Gmxxxak:
OK, good

Guy who are you sef?

Well done Sir.
Make the repairs reach Ajegunle.

What about the front of ejigbo lcda office Nnpc, isolo general hospital to jakade gate both going and coming, Not forgetting canoe to ajao estate ,and osolo to ajao estate also ajao estate to airport airport road junction bus stop

What about Mile 2 expressway to Seme border, the last time I was in Nigeria, that road was hellish

Useless government/nor. What has Ambonde been thinking since years that these roads have been abandoned to suffer Lagos residents.

I hope the emperor governor will also remember that most strategic traffic lights have not worked for a long time.

They should remember badagry express way,. mainly Under bridge, trade fair.

Failed Ambode government

How exactly has his 4 years = failure

good development ikotun-ijegun road is damaged beyond patching,they should just start afresh.

Somebody should help me beg Ogun state govt to sell Sango and Environ to Lagos. The population in those areas is more than Agege,Oshodi and Mushin all together but there is no development there at all, no good road when you query the govt they will tell us we don't pay our taxes to Ogun state but Lagos.

In my house in Ijoko

-I provide my water

- We constructed our roads

- we built our bridge

-we bought the transformer

-We erected our electric poles

-We built police station

-We provide security

We do virtually everything without the help of Ogun state govt .

Lagos should acquire Ogun I beg
