Fashola approves construction of 70 new roads

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, said 70 new roads had been approved and awarded for construction and rehabilitation in the state, even as the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, deplored the poor state of the Federal High Court in Lagos Island, saying "it is in its old self."


Fashola who spoke during a courtesy call on him by the NBA, Lagos Branch and Ikeja, led by Mr. Monday Ubani and Mr. Taiwo Taiwo, said the contract had increased the number of awarded road contracts since the commencement of the second term of his administration to 230.

According to him: "We set ourselves the target in the second term to complete about 450 roads. Last year, we awarded about 160 roads. This year, we have awarded about 70 roads. This signifies our intention this year that we are more concerned about road construction.

"We have already completed about half of the roads we set out to achieve. But again, we can only award that much if we were able to complete much. That was why this year's project was based on completing the roads in the state. The decision making for which road to deal with first, is based on the road that carries the most traffic.

"The need continuously outstrips the source and so also they outstrip the capacity. And what we have done this year was to identify the roads that needed urgent repair. And these are continuous engagement and undertaking from the state government. They will never finish in the tenure or life of any government.

  1. Repairs on Ozumba Mbadiwe road in VI has been going on for the past 2-3years without completion. That stretch of road is less than 1.7km, and Fashola's administration is finding it extremely difficult to finish causing heavy traffic jam on that section Also, the road to KPMG is an indictment on the administration. It makes a mockery of the touted road rehabilitation focus of this government.
