REHABILITATION OF THE ROAD OF ABEOKUTA'S STREET

The residents of Abeokuta street, Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos has appealed to the Lagos State government, to monitor the re- construction of the street’s road, so that the project will be concluded within a limited time.
          The people appealed to the State government because they felt that the re- habilitation of the road has taken much time than expected.
          According to one of the residents, who is also a tailor, Mr. Oluwatunbosun Femi said that the re-construction started around early March. He said further that, it has been affecting the mobility of people and vehicles. This is because the gravel that is being used for the re-construction of the road is on the main road, thereby hindering people of free movement within the area.
          He said further that, the soil that were dug from the ground is affecting the residents and market people because whenever it is raining, the sand will be washed from the main road to the shop or house in front of it.
          A man whose daily business is to sell water, (he pleaded anonymity) appreciated the effort of the state government for counting the street’s road worthy of re-construction. He made it known that the ever since the reconstruction of the road had started, he has been loosing customers, especially the ‘abokis’ who found it difficult to pass with their truck.
          Drivers have also complained about the re-habilitation as they found it difficult to drive into the street because of the drainage that was constructed at the entrance of the street.
          The road which is meant to be completed within 6 months by the labourers (who said that they are not working for a construction company but it is ‘direct labour’), because it as passed 3months and road still needs more time for it to be re-constructed.
          The Lagos state Government and the workers are meant to check whatever may be causing the delay in the re-construction of the road, so as to stop discomforting the residents of the area. #
