After several months of calls from residents and visitors who ply the dilapidated Ijaye Road daily, the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government Area, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi has decided to bring succour to the people by fixing the damaged portions of the busy road.
You recall that Egunjobi in a chat with Agegepulse Magazine after the APC rally in the LG last week, revealed that the Ijaye Road is under the jurisdiction of the Lagos State government being a Trunk-A road.
He stressed that he had written several letters to the ministry of works to call its attention to the plight of people plying the road under serious inconvenient conditions daily but no response from the ministry.
However, the young LG boss and his team have taken it upon the themselves to sort the road that has been given the Agege secretariat bad reputation for some months now.
Speaking with Agegepulse today, Egunjobi said; "As a responsible and responsive government, we cannot continue to waiting for State Government to fix this road for us."
"The road is important to us and other motorists because it is one of the alternative routes for the ongoing construction of Pen Cinema flyover bridge."
"APC government is one government from the national to the state and local government level, hence cooperation is needed to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people and that is why we have decided to proffer solution to the niggling inconvenience that the dilapidated road is causing our people and visitors."
"On this note, we will like to inform the general public that Agege Local Government is currently rehabilitating Ogba-Ijaiye Road. The work, which commenced yesterday (Thursday), will be completed next week.
As a result of the on-going rehabilitation, the road is partially closed to traffic and we urge motorists to use alternative routes, namely Shobowale Street, Oshindehin Street, and Oshugboye Street, all off Akilo road.
“We deeply regret any inconvenience this might cause the road users.” Egunjobi concluded.
