MINISTER OF WORKS PROMISES ROAD REHABILITATIONS TO LAGOS COMMUTERS
The minister of world and housing Babatunde Raji Fashola have promised road rehabilitations to Lagos commuters following increasing traffic gridlock in the state
Traffic gridlock has once again reappeared on most Lagos roads, leaving residents, especially commuters, in untold agony as they travel from one part of the state to the other.
What many find most distressing is the alarming indication that there is no immediate solution in sight. The state-wide gridlock has been attributed to different factors, with the poor state of some roads across the metropolis top on the list.
The situation report in Apapa is that the Federal Government has already completed the reconstruction of Wharf Road, Apapa. Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, had also assured that the next road to be given consideration for reconstruction within Apapa would be Tin Can/Coconut section of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, which had since started.
Fashola added that discussions had already begun on the issue at the Federal Executive Council level. He said: “I just want to appeal to residents of Apapa, to people whose livelihood depends on Apapa, that Apapa is one of the priority roads under our priority of works to solve roads that lead to critical ports.
