The special adviser to the governor on Infrastructure, Engineer Olufemi Daramola who was represented by the permanent secretary, Engr Ayodele Somide said, “In the interim, we have directed the contractors to put in place necessary measures to mitigate the flash flood and effective logistics while the construction lasts.”

According to Daramola, based on the survey carried out, the government has directed the contractors to commence work immediately on Adeniji Adele Extension while working simultaneously on Oroyinyin.

He assured that the construction of the roads would be completed in a record time since the contractors as part of efforts to ensure timely reconstruction of the roads would soon commence work on the road.

“The administration of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu is a responsive one and would leave no stone unturned at reconstructing these roads as quickly as possible,” The special adviser said.

It would be recalled that the Lagos State government on Friday, February 28, held a stakeholders’ meeting to herald the flag off of the construction works on the multiple roads, drainage and urban re-project.
