Residents In Lekki Urge Government To Fix Road In Dry Season

The Lekki Estate Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA) has called on Lagos State Government to take advantage of the dry season to resume construction of drainage, roads and mounting of streetlights along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

LERSA President, Chief James Emadoye, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.

Emadoye lauded the remedial works done during the rainy season but said the call became necessary to ensure that the difficulties experienced by commuters along the axis when were maximally reduced or totally eliminated.

He requested for the removal of some unnecessary roundabouts along the expressway which had become trouble spots.

“Already the road from Abraham Adesanya to Epe is very bad and we appreciate them for the repair done during the rains.

“But now that the dry season is here, it is expected of the governor to immediately direct contractors to site to resume construction of drainage, roads and streetlights,” he said.

Emadoye also appealed that the issue of shanties, beggars and street urchins along the axis be tackled to ensure the city evolved into the megacity it was created to be.

He urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State to fulfil the promise he made to the association to build an alternative road to accommodate the increasing population along the axis.
