LAGOS State Governor Babatunde Fashola says his desire is to complete ongoing projects in the state in 2013.

The governor spoke during a project inspection tour he described as a renewal of his administration’s commitment to service.

A statement from his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Hakeem Bello, on Wednesday explained that Fashola, who in company with members of his cabinet and some permanent secretaries on Tuesday toured Oyingbo Market, Tejuosho Market, Shitta HOMS Project, and the Apapa-Iganmu Drainage channel project via Babs Animashaun,  also went to Ilasamaja Pedestrian Bridge, Olu-Aina Street site of Mushin HOMS, and Kodesho Road, Ikeja.

Fashola said, “We are going round our project sites because we have just finished a budget and the essence of 2013 budget is to focus on completion of ongoing projects. Now, we have received briefs from various ministries, departments and agencies about all what they plan to do.

“So, we have made provisions for them but there are inter-ministerial and inter-departmental impacts. So we’ve decided now that whosoever is in charge of any project, whether you need to do environmental work or you need to do traffic work there, let us all go out now and see what needs to be done instead of just staying in our offices.”

He said the inspection was a field work that could be useful in letting all cabinet members know what role they would play so that everyone could work as a team.

He added that the projection of his administration was that by the middle of second quarter of next year, the Oyingbo market project would have been completed.

The governor said, “We also visited Tejuosho market to see the level of work going on there. There is a challenge of funding on the project which will necessitate a going back to chart a way forward.

“In Surulere, we saw the canal at Babs Animashaun. There were redesign issues there. There was a depth of about 33 metres that was not within the contemplation of the contractors, so we have to redesign the scope of works and re-quantify it.

“The drainage channel in Itire is a system canal that goes through Mushin to Ilasamaja and towards Badagry. One section of it has been completed while plans are on to start the other section in next year’s budget”

Fashola, who noted that the Apapa- Iganmu drainage channel via Babs Animashaun had been blocked by refuse, said indiscriminate dumping of waste was a challenge government had been facing.

He urged the residents to patronise the waste management companies to dispose their waste properly.

At least he's doing something. Go to other states to see things for yourself.
You said he should focus more on the welfare of Lagosians. All these projects are for the betterment of the welfare of who? Abeokutans?
