…Governor dualises Irede, Mumuni Adio carriageway; revamps Navy Town, Old Ojo roads
The wave of projects’ commissioning in Lagos State continued on Tuesday, as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu inaugurated four newly completed road projects in Oriade town of Amuwo Odofin.
The Governor inaugurated the reconstructed Old Ojo Road, opening a faster alternative route for commuters travelling on Lagos-Badagry.
Sanwo-Olu also commissioned the newly rehabilitated and upgraded Mumuni Adio (formerly Buba Marwa) Road, Irede Road and Navy Town Road — all in Oriade axis of Amuwo Odofin.
The projects were part of the 36 road infrastructure completed across the three senatorial districts by the Sanwo-Olu administration.
The 7.65 kilometre-long Old Ojo Road, which extends from Irede to Maza Maza, was split into two construction phases. The completed first phase, which spans 4km from Irede Road to Oluti Bus Stop, was commissioned among the four projects inaugurated.
The second phase, Sanwo-Olu pledged, would be signed off in the coming quarters.
The Governor said the 2.2 km-long Irede Road was a single carriageway before it was expanded and dualised with Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP). The infrastructure, Sanwo-Olu said, will serve commuters connecting Lagos-Badagry Expressway at Trade Fair Bus Stop.
The Irede Road also serves as the gateway to Irede Jetty — a vital link for water transportation to several riverine communities, including Ibasa, Ibeshe, Ilashe and Imoore.
Sanwo-Olu said: “Today, we are commissioning yet another network of roads on the ever-growing list of life-changing public infrastructure that we have delivered to our people. Before now, one of the most critical challenges constantly experienced by residents and road users along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and environs, is the perennial gridlock, translating into travel inconvenience, loss of productive time, frustration and stress.
“Inauguration of these critical infrastructure projects is a testament to the fact that we are not unmindful of the pains of the people in this area. Our primary objective has been to provide lasting transport infrastructure and a strategic traffic management solution aimed at easing traffic congestion. It is also worth pointing out that we have gone the extra mile with these four roads, ensuring their upgrade from traditional asphalt into what is called Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement.”
The Governor said he was particularly elated to end the pain hitherto experienced by road users on Mumuni Adio Road, noting that the conditions of the 3.2km infrastructure deteriorated due to the heavy axle loads from articulated vehicles transporting petroleum products and goods.
The new concrete rigid pavement will offer road users a durable experience, as the newly rehabilitated carriageway would serve as a crucial artery in the Ijegun Egba area, providing vital access to several tank farms, ljegun Egba Jetty and industrial establishments.
Sanwo-Olu reiterated that his administration would not relent in its infrastructure renewal efforts, disclosing that more projects inauguration would be held in Alimosho, Eti Osa and other areas in the coming days.
Appealing to all users to protect the infrastructure, the Governor said: “I urge all stakeholders including residents, drivers, traders, commuters, transport unions, and shop owners to do everything in your power to safeguard these projects, and ensure that there is zero tolerance for vandalism and abuse.”
Special Adviser on Infrastructure, Engr. Olufemi Daramola, said each of the projects were critical to the development and prosperity of Amuwo-Odofin, pointing out that the infrastructure would facilitate economic growth, enhance smooth movement of goods and services.
He said: “These infrastructure improvements totalling 10.10km have transformed the transportation landscape in Amuwo Odofin, boosting accessibility, safety and economic activity in the area. Together, these projects are part of the broader infrastructural vision that aligns with the T.H.E.M.E.S. + agenda, especially in the areas of Transportation and Traffic Management.”
Chairman of Oriade Local Council Development Area, Mrs. Ramotalai Akintola-Hassan, said the projects had ended the pains usually associated with commuting on the roads, thanking the Governor for fulfilling his promises to residents in the area.
