Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode has ordered immediate repair
of bad portions on Apapa-Oshodi
Expressway after undertaking an
unscheduled inspection of the road on
Friday.
“The state of this road is just not
acceptable. We are going to do
something about this place
immediately. The Oshodi-Apapa
Expressway is too strategic to be left
like this,” said Ambode.
The governor directed the State’s
Ministry of Works and Infrastructure
and other relevant government agencies
to immediately move to site and fix the
bad portions of the road.
A visibly worried Governor Ambode
had stopped his convoy and came down
from his vehicles to inspect the bad
portions of the road alongside top
government officials who accompanied
him.
The governor specifically inspected the
bad portions of the road between
Berlett and Ilasa, and Cele Bus stop
inward Oshodi.
Ambode also ordered that an
immediate palliative measure must be
put in place to alleviate the sufferings
of motorists who have been
complaining about the deplorable state
of the road through various means.
While addressing some of the crowd
that trooped out to welcome him,
Governor Ambode said the bad state of
the road was of serious concern to him,
and that an immediate solution was
coming soon.
“I have directed officials of the Ministry
of Works and Infrastructure and other
relevant agencies to move to site
immediately and see what they can do
and also create palliatives in the
interim to alleviate the plight of
motorists.
“I want to assure the people that I
share in the difficulties they are going
through using this road and we cannot
afford to neglect this road,” he said.
A building collapsed at the early hours of Sunday at about 3am at Egbu road just opposite the police station at Fire Service in Owerri. According to reports about 6 people were rescued alive while about 4 people are feared dead. I have videos of were dead bodies are been pulled out. The governor came around to inspect the Collapsed Building and he directed that the old building beside it with a green roof should be demolished also because it's owned by same owner of the Collapsed Building since that same building has already been marked by OCDA as a building dat wud also collapsed soon. From what I saw, the materials used in constructing the building wasn't upto to standard. No chippings rather it was local stones that was used. It was also reported that the building was suppose to be 2 storey but was but out of Greed it was made 3 storey. My name is Kelly Bobor incase u want further information.
