The Lagos State Public Works Corporation, LSPWC, has urged Lagos residents to be patient as it doubles efforts to fix potholes and ensure roads remain motorable as we approach the last quarter of the year.

The General Manager of the Corporation, Engr. Olufemi Daramola disclosed this yesterday during a chat with news correspondents on the activities of the Corporation since mid-June 2019.

He said LSPWC is fully aware of the situation of roads in the State and efforts are in top gear to alleviate the discomfort commuters encounter on some of the bad roads, emphasising that the Corporation is determined to rehabilitate all damaged roads in furtherance of the Executive Order of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

He explained that palliatives with boulders and crushed stones were done at Oke-Afa, Isolo, Ejigbo, Ikotun-Ijegun axis, Oba Sekumade and Bayeku Road at Ikorodu, Ahmadu Bello Way and other similar strategic roads, adding that the Corporation also graded Ikorodu Road and Mile 12 inward Ketu on Tuesday to reduce travel time and ameliorate the trouble commuters experience on the axis pending a permanent solution.

While noting that challenging road situations ranging from potholes, isolated potholes, craters and failed portions of roads across all the Local Governments preceded his assumption of office, he revealed that a lot of resources to repair non-functional equipment and plants have been invested by the present administration.

Daramola assured residents that the State government is working hard to ensure that pot-holes on major roads are drastically reduced or totally eliminated, and in cases where they occur, the response rate by the Agency would be faster, stressing that some of the roads have outlived their life span.

The General Manager also acknowledged that the number of bad roads in Lagos is high and must be done in phases according to the level of importance, emphasising that the Corporation has a strong mandate to get rid of potholes
in the city within the shortest possible time.

I wonder what LSPWC has been doing for the past 4years. If they had been working like they are now Lagos roads won't be in this degenerate state.

People that are mad.

Useless state.

The traffic they cause everyday all In the name of fixing potholes alone. On thursday, I was stuck on Lateef Jakande Road for more than an hour. LTV to Omole was on a standstill. I wonder why they can't fix it in the midnight though, between the hours of 1-3am.

Good

Which ikotun ijegun road b that...d road is still one of worst road in Lagos


All liars shall perish

I live in lagos ...I can boldly say that Lagos is an over hyped city , bad roads, thugs everywhere, insecurity , pick pockets , agbero wahala ....6 out of 10 people in IKEJA ( a whole state capital)are out there to dupe you ...phone snatchers are kings and untouchable in some part of lagos ...over population to mention a few



The city is over hyped

Is it impossible for the state or federal government

when giving out the contracts for these roads to enforce

a 50 year time frame before any major repair is carried

out again on these roads to the contractors? What will it

cost them to include this in the contract terms? It does

not make sense to continue spending scarce resources

on the same set of roads almost every year.

Fix mile 12 the traffic is madt


Don't just pour sand after 2 days the roads are bad again

useless people...the new method of road maintenance in Lagos is to fill potholes with gravel and sand and they leave it that way...this rubbish started during ambode's era

no Lagos governor can beat fashola.
