The Lagos State Government of Nigeria on Tuesday announced the flagging off of 114 roads to be constructed in the 57 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State, just as it assured that more roads will be accommodated in the next phase of the project.
The project, which is being fully funded by the State Government, will be constructed two per each LGAs and LCDAs, and is expected to be completed within six months.
Speaking at a joint press
briefing addressed by the State’s Ministries of Information and
Strategy, Local Government and Community Affairs and the Conference of
Executive Secretaries of LGAs and LCDAs, the government disclosed that
the project would commence simultaneously in all the Councils within the
next seven days.
Chairman of Conference 57, the umbrella body of Executive
Secretaries of LGAs and LCDAs in the State, Hon. Kolade Alabi said:
“This is no doubt
unprecedented in the history of not just Lagos State, but in the entire
nation with all modesty. I salute Governor Ambode’s vision, sense of
commitment and dedication to grassroots development. It is indeed taking
Lagos to the next level and the benefits as well as the gains of this
project on the socio-economic lives of Lagosians cannot be
over-emphasised”.
