Lagos State Government has commenced rehabilitation work of the road linking Ikotun and Ejigbo, in old Alimosho Local Government Area.

The  Lagos State Governor Akinunmi Ambode, during an unscheduled visit to Ikotun-Ejigbo road a fortnight ago, directed the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, in collaboration with Lagos State Public Works Corporation, LSPWC, to move to the site within seven days to fix the road.

The LSPWC moved to the site at the weekend and commenced the de-silting of drainages along Oke-Afa and Ejigbo area to ensure free flow of stagnated water and discharge from domestic use.

Though, the commencement of the rehabilitation resulted into hectic traffic on the axis, LSPWC officials has assured of speedy completion with consideration for quality job delivery.

However, the scrapping of failed sections on the road is ongoing in readiness for full rehabilitation.

Heavy duty construction equipment has since been mobilized to the site by the corporation. Also, site trucks, milling machines, tractors, and graders have also been moved to site.
