The Lagos State Government has commenced the construction of six roads in Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government and Ifelodun Local Council Development Area, with the projects expected to improve access to markets and public facilities, ease movement and strengthen economic activity in the densely populated communities.
The projects, which the authorities say are up to 1,835 metres of roads, were flagged off with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu represented by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Rural Development, Nurudeen Agbaje.
The intervention comprises Asubiojo Street (320m) and Owoseni Street (115m) in Ifelodun LCDA, as well as Cemetery Market Road (250m), Isikalu Street (560m), Alayabiagba Street (320m) and Odofin Street (270m) in Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government.
The roads will be reconstructed with interlocking pavement and covered drainage systems, while solar-powered streetlights will be installed as part of the completed infrastructure.
The government said the projects are expected to be delivered within 12 months.
