UPDATE: Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu today commissioned a Network of 9 roads with bridge within the Soluyi Community in Kosofe Local Government.
The Contract award for the Construction of Network of Roads within Soluyi Community in Kosofe Local Government Area was awarded to Messrs Xenon Construction Limited in September, 2017. The project consists of a network of nine (9) roads.
The roads: Aderemi Akeju street with deck-on-pile bridge, Okun street, Femi Kufo street, Brown Street, Adegbenro street, Ganiyat Dawodu streets, Yetunde Brown street, Anipole street, Sosanya streets.
Before, the only access in and out of Soluyi Community, Gbagada was the ever busy Ayodele Okeowo Road near Deeper Christian Life Bible Church which experiences traffic gridlock during peak periods and church events arising from high vehicular volume.
This necessitated the provision of an alternative route to ameliorate the discomfort residents experience while also addressing environmental challenges, particularly flooding due to inadequate drainage system.
These roads will serve as alternative by-pass for motorists within the Soluyi Community to the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway, Third Mainland Bridge (TMB) and Apapa-Oworonsoki Expressway by the Third Axial underpass.
The construction of these roads will improve flow of traffic in the area, boost value of property, enhance security and promote socio-economic activities within the area.
Governor @jidesanwoolu assured the residents of fixing more roads within the Local
Government Area as mentioned by the community leaders, Roads like; Taiwo Street (Ojota), Mabawonku (Oworo), Salawu Onikoyi street and more.
Ordinarily, we consider it beneath us as well-bred media professionals to continue to engage in public spat with Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, a congenital blackmailer and hustler, especially in deference to ceasefire calls by well-meaning leaders and elders.
The interventions followed our statement on Monday entitled “Obaigbena and His THISDAY/ARISE News’ Hypocritical Grandstanding On Public Morality”.
The Time Has Come To Choose Wisely
By Senator Kashim Shettima (@KashimSM)
I stand here today honoured by the burden of expectations upon me and, more tellingly, strengthened by the convictions of the patriots with us in this journey to make history.
We are brought together by a forest of ideas, but what defines us and sets us apart from other political groups is this collective realisation that the future of this country rests on the choice of a unifying leader; ..
..a leader who panders to neither ethnic nor religious agenda, and one who isn’t bound by toxic regional solidarity and yet known for a track record of outstanding leadership.
