The palliative intervention on Eko Bridge embarked upon by the Lagos State Government in support of the Federal Government’s efforts to replace the eight expansion joints on the highway has been completed.
The palliative entailed the cutting and removal of asphalt as well as the placement of a steel plate on the affected parts of the bridge, pending the arrival of the reinforced rubber expansion joints to be installed as a permanent remedy.
The palliative was initiated by the State Govt to ensure the safety of motorists & reduce traffic congestion. The intervention is the direct responsibility of @FMWHNIG but Governor @jidesanwoolu instructed the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to take up the job immediately.
“The average resident does not want to know whose responsibility it is to effect the repairs. What is important is to get the work done and remove the gridlock.”
A permanent solution, which will be put in place soon will eliminate the gridlock from the Alaka end of the road. The required reinforced rubber expansion joints, which have been ordered from the manufacturers, will be installed immediately they arrive in the country.
The Government appreciates Lagosians for their perseverance and pleads for a little more patience from motorists until the work is completed by the Federal and State governments.

THREAD 👇🏾
“The buildings that were pulled down is a peculiar case because the owner and developer could not provide approval and clearance to reclaimed land he got from the State Land Bureau and Ministry of Waterfront” - @idreezsalako
"They blew up their survey. This means more land metres were taken than what was given approval for. And the 30 metres set back the developer was to observe was not adhered to” - @idreezsalako
Lagos State Government on Monday warned residents that it would no longer condone flagrant abuse of building laws and regulations of the State.
The State Government said it has noticed that many residents are building without due recourse to state agencies for approval and therefore advised people to desist from violating building regulations.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has again renewed his vow to suppress any act of lawlessness and hooliganism across the length and breadth of Lagos State.
The police boss made the assertion today, Monday 8th February, 2021, while addressing and deliberating on security issues with the Area Commaders and Police Mobile Force Commanders in Lagos State.
