Lagos State Governor, Baba-
jide Sanwo-Olu, has assured

Lagos residents that rehabil-
itation work would commence on

Lagos-Badagry Expressway from
Mazamaza to Okokomaiko this
month.
The governor, who announced this

during an inspection visit to La-
gos-Badagry Expressway, said talks

were ongoing with the contractor to
resume work on site once the required
financing is in place.
According to the governor, “In this
month of June we shall be moving
to site. Work will commence on this
road, so all the T’s and I’s will be done

this week so as to move to site imme-
diately. We will ensure that we firm up

discussion with CCECC and move to
site because work has been abandoned
here for almost four years.”
Mr Sanwo-Olu noted that despite
the completion of the highway from
the National Theatre to Mazamaza,
indiscriminate dumping of refuse
and misuse of the road by traders
has made the route impassable, but
gave assurance that massive clean-up
would take place in the coming weeks.
“We started the journey from
Orile-Iganmu through Mazamaza,

and finally here at the Trade Fair. The
road from National Arts Theatre up
to Mazamaza has actually been done,’’
adding that the huge refuse on the
road has affected the quality of the
work done in the area.
Mr Sanwo-Olu acknowledged the
various infrastructures that had been

provided through the project includ-
ing the rail line, but expressed regret

that the heaps of refuse littering the
area had made it difficult to appreciate
what had been done.
While also acknowledging that it
would be a major task to clear the

refuse, he, however, said that work

would commence immediately to re-
store orderliness to the area.

“I don’t know how long it will take
but it’s going to be a major task to
clean up that corridor,” Mr Sanwo-Olu
said.
The governor also disclosed that
the government would partner with
the Federal Government in finding
a lasting solution to the deplorable
state of the Okokomaiko, through
Agbara to Seme Border axis of the
Lagos-Badagry Expressway. (culled
