Lagos announces shutdown of two strategic roads for railway project

AgegePulse Magazine

In line with the Nigerian Railway Modernization Project (Lagos-Ibadan section) with extension to Lagos Port at Apapa, the Lagos State Government has unveiled plans to shutdown PWD Level Crossing around Ikeja GRA axis on the 10th of January, 2020 and Brewery Level Crossing along Iganmu axis on the 11th of January, 2020.


The closure of the roads will be from 8:00pm to 6:00am.

A statement from the State’s Ministry of Transportation on Wednesday said alternative routes had been provided for road users to utilize during the course of construction to ensure motorists reach their various destinations with ease.

“The closure has also been slated at this time, to ensure smooth and uninterrupted flow of work on the rail tracks.

“Motorists plying Ikeja axis are advised to access their destinations via Ilupeju Level Crossing and Ikeja along Level Crossing while commuters driving along Iganmu axis inward Surulere should make use of Costain express way and Orile Express corridor, Bode Thomas Street and Eric Moore Road,” he said.

The government appealed to residents of the state, especially motorists that plied these corridors to bear the pains, as the project was aimed at achieving a seamless multi-modal transport system in the state.

“The Lagos State Government hereby appeals to road users to bear with the government as it takes steps to further create transport infrastructure that will ultimately improve the travel experience of commuters in the state,” the statement said

Pen Cinema Flyover: Lagos begins removal of structures on Right Of Way

...Property owners to submit  documents for payment of compensation - Tpl. Abiola Anifowoshe 

The Lagos State Government on Monday began the removal of structures on the right of way to pave way for the ongoing construction of the Pen Cinema flyover in Agege local government area as well as other major network of roads in the State.

In a statement by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Tpl. Abiola Anifowoshe said the Government had in recent time held stakeholders’ meetings with owners of properties that had to give way for the construction of the affected areas and had given assurance of adequate compensation.

According to Anifowoshe, “Before we remove any structure in Lagos State, the State Government would first hold Stakeholders’ meeting with the affected property owners within their domain to obtain their buy-in and commitment towards the projects.

“The Government has held meetings in all these locations and during these meetings allayed Stakeholders’ fears and assured them that the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode would not remove any structure without paying due process”.

Anifowoshe said that officials of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development officials had marked all identified structures that fall within the proposed Right of Way in these locations and have served all affected structures with necessary notices.

“We are removing these encumbrances to pave way for the infrastructural upgrade for the socio-economic growth of the State.

The Commissioner said, “I urged all affected property owners to submit the following documents for the ease of processing the payment of compensation by the State Government.

The documents include: Certified Registered Title Documents of Properties within the said Right of Way, Approved Planning Permit for the affected Buildings, and other relevant documents”.

Anifowoshe said the Government had also embarked upon removal of structures in Agric Isawo Road as well as Igbe/Igbogbo/Bola Ahmed Tinubu Road in Ikorodu Local Government Area.

He said the infrastructural upgrade and expansion of the major and adjoining roads was in fulfillment of the promise by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to transform the State into a safe, functional and efficient commercial hub in Africa.

He said “We use this opportunity to appeal to all affected property owners to cooperate with the Lagos State Government for the socio-economic development of their areas and Lagos State as a whole.

According to him, the road rehabilitation which is geared towards complementing Government’s efforts to ease and ameliorate traffic congestion and gridlock prevalent in these areas are in the overriding public interest of Lagosians.

Infrastructure: J.S Babatunde Sets to Commission Six Boreholes in Orile-Agege - AgegePulse

Going by the information made available to Agege Pulse few hours ago, the people of Orile Agege will on Friday 24th November witness another round of infrastructural gains from the Hon. Johnson Sunday Babatunde led administration.

The Executive Chairman, alongside Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Samuel Babatunde Adejare will be commissioning six boreholes in six different locations that according to reports, have been grossly affected by dearth of water supplies.

The commissioning is part of Hon Babatunde's 100 days in office celebration.

In a phone conversation with Agege Pulse Editor, he said it's been 100 days with gains for the people of Orile Agege adding that they had waited haplessly for 24years to experience tailored projects like the new roads and boreholes.

While urging the people to expect more, Hon. Babatunde said the boreholes were constructed based on the immediate demands of the host communities, hence go beyond superfluous projects.

Stay tuned to Agege Pulse for live and detailed reports from the commissioning tomorrow.
