The Lagos State Gov., Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode two years ago unveiled the master list of roads to be renovated across the state. According to the gov, his administration would consolidate on its infrastructural renewal drive in the current fiscal year, the government has announced the 181 roads that will be constructed across the 57 LGs/LCDAs.
Ambode earlier revealed that the 181 roads are an improvement on the 114 roads, two in each local government, which his administration promised to embark upon every year.
The governor further stressed that his administration thought it wise to ensure that the roads captured for 2017 are key roads that would have an economic impact on the people living in that axis.
In a bid to put the government on its toes and also to account for transparency, AutoReportNG followed up on TrackaNG and some NGO who went around to investigate how the contractors have fared and so far, some are yet to even start work while some contractors are nowhere to be found.
These are some roads that are captured in the #181LagosRoads but a sign of life yet.
1. Nwachukwu/Olusesi street – under Oshodi/I solo LGA Nwachukwu/Olusesi street – under Oshodi/I solo LGA is captured under the Lagos State #181LagosRoads but it seems the contractor has absconded and stopped work hereby leaving the whole place in a mess. Going by the LASG list, Nwachukwu/Olusesi street was meant to be an Asphaltic Concrete road. These are some of the pictures from the road.
