Lagos State Government Begins Road Reconstuction In 57 Councils
This should come as good news for those living in Lagos state, especially since the hectic traffic situation has gotten worse of recent, and there is almost zero road networking in the inner local communities.
The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, says the government is ready to start the reconstruction of two roads in each of the 20 local government and 37 local council development areas in the state.
He spoke at the Lagos House, Ikeja during the monthly meeting with the Executive Secretaries of the 57 Councils to review the progress report in their various communities as well as their challenges.
He said that the first phase would commence with the reconstruction of 114 roads, two per local government, at the cost of N19billion.
He also said the execution of the project would be left in the care of the local governments.
Since the governor has said the local government will be charge of the execution of this project and it will cost BILLIONS, for God's sakes, we are on our knees, local government people, DELIVER!!
Because as it is right now, a lot of us are not feeling any impact of the local government in our communities and many times i have wondered at the essence of having a local government when it is obvious they are not being useful for anything except to collect taxes for services not rendered.
So now that BILLIONS of naira will be flying around, we hope to see some positive change for once.
