MOTORISTS and residents in Lagos State are now having a hectic time moving from one place to another as a result of potholes and craters that have taken over major and link roads in the state.
While signing the Order, Sanwo-Olu said: “I think we have to make some points about issues that happen around transportation, potholes on our roads, blockages and the rest. I think it’s something we need to tackle immediately.”
The chairmen of the councils seem not to be alive to their responsibilities over the deplorable state of the roads as they often leave bad spots unattended to, claiming that the roads belong to either state or federal governments. A driver, Gabriel Ifeanyi, lamented the poor state of the road, saying it is always one of the major complaints from commuters.
Also expressing anger over the bad state of roads, a tricyclist, Seyi Alogba, questioned the usefulness of the levies the state government generates from commercial drivers in the state. The affected part of the flyover is between Jibowu by Total Fuel Station/Fadeyi Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, inward Ojuelegba, along Ikorodu Road, Surulere Local Government Area of the state. The particular spot could be seen on the way to Ikorodu.
According to the government, the proposed work was scheduled to be strictly executed in two phases with phase one focusing on only the most critical sections on the Iyana Oworonshoki inward Adeniji Adele/Lagos Island.Meanwhile, the LSPWC has blamed the disruption of its scheduled road maintenance and rehabilitation on the continuous rainfall being experienced in most parts of the state.
