74 road projects’ll be abandoned by Ambode, says report vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
According to Tracka, a subsidiary of Budgit, the 74 projects were among the 181 road projects flagged off by the state government across the 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs.
The report came barely one year after the state government announced commencement of 181 roads to be completed in phases and awarded at N18.5 billion, targeted at reducing travel time and boost commercial activities in the state. In a statement by Head of Tracka, Damen Ilevbaoje said: “Given the population and rising number of industries in Lagos, the government’s effort to repair roads, reduce mishaps and ease traffic is duly commendable. However, it is imperative to note that the financial breakdown of the projects remains secret.“The only information in the public space is the gross amount allocated for the roads and the part payment by the state government.
“Out of 175 roads tracked by our team, only 54 are completed, 38 are ongoing while eight bear unspecified locations, all at the time of our last visit in February 2019. Tracka confidently reports that a higher number of the roads are yet to be constructed.”
