Akinwunmi Ambode
The Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has expressed displeasure at the slow pace of work on the reconstruction of some of the road projects in the state.
In a statement issued Wednesday by Habib Aruna, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ambode was quoted as saying that he would not accept anything that would make life difficult for residents.
The governor spoke during a project inspection tour at the Bariga, Alimosho, and Oshodi areas of the state.
At a road construction site in Somolu/Bariga, Mr. Ambode directed the contractors to deliver the project before Christmas, and also to provide palliative measures for residents while work is ongoing.
“We are not pleased with the slow pace of work in this area,” Mr. Ambode said.
“I want to tell the contractors that we would not accept anything that will make life difficult for the residents.”At Alimosho, Mr. Ambode told residents that the local government, being the most populous in the state, would ensure their plight is alleviated.
“In the course of my campaign, I came to this neighbourhood three times asking you to vote for me. I am back here to let you know that this road that is so important to the economy of this area, we would complete it within the next three months.,” said Mr. Ambode.
”I want to appeal to all our people living here. The contractor is going to work day and night and also create palliative for you to be able to use the road while he is working. Please cooperate with them to carry out their work, it’s for our own general good.”At Oshodi, the governor, after walking through the stretch of Brown Street, ordered the reconstruction of the road.
“Nobody should trade on this road henceforth and stop spreading your market on the road,” Mr. Ambode told traders in the area.

“I have seen what you experience on daily basis, that is why I took it upon myself to walk through Brown Street and I can assure you that work would commence within the next seven days.”
