Residents call for completion of Jakande/Isheri-Oshun road

By Bose Adelaja

RESIDENTS of Jakande Estate and Isheri-Oshun in Alimosho Local Government of Lagos State would want Governor Babatunde Fashola to come to the aid by expediting action on the delayed road project in their area. One of them, a traditional ruler and chief executive officer of Becan Garden and Suites Limited Chief Donatus Nwafor, said  apart from bad road, insecurity and inadequate power supply were other problems  the Governor should address to make life meaningful for the people.

Speaking during the official commissioning of his ultra modern hotel, situated in Bucknor area of the road, Chief Nwafor said residents would certainly have cause to cheer if the community could boast of accessible roads.

While commending Governor Fashola for his development strides in the state, Nwafor urged him to extend same gesture in Isheri-Oshun. ‘’I commend Governor Fashola for his good governance and extension of democratic dividend to the good people of Lagos State.

This administration has proven that good leadership is achievable within a set period of time. I would, therefore, call on his administration to come to our aid by accelerating the road construction which is very expedient for a hotel-tourisim venture to thrive,’’ he added.

He noted that the business was in pursuance of the transformation agenda of the Federal Government on job creation, youth training and development. ‘’Becan Garden and Suites limited seeks to improve upon transforming the society to provide a safe place for the weak and strong; where both can seek fulfillment within acceptable rules and laws, a place where people would have faith in their neighbours and a society where good and lawful endeavor will be rewarded,’’ he said.

Among other things, he called for security and stable power supply so that tourism can thrive in the area.

In her address, hotel supervisor, Miss Obidike Onyinye, said the business offers excellent services for clients at an affordable rate.
