Governor Ambode Vows To Complete Ongoing Repairs In Ago Palace Way.

Respite appears to be coming the way of residence of Ago
palace way in Lagos as the state governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode has vowed to complete the ongoing repairs of the
road that has been in a deplorable state for so many years.

In a statement released by the State Ministry of Works and
Infrastructure today September 30th, the state government
said the final repairs along Fedrick Fasheun junction to
Amuwo-Odofin Bridge and other road projects across the
State will receive adequate and prompt attention by his
government.
Ambode said efforts are on to ensure that contractors on all
its road projects return to work and deliver high quality
roads within reasonable timeframe. It explained that in view
of the link between Isolo axis and the Apapa-Oshodi and
Lagos Badagry Expressway, the Ago Palace way was
segmented into phases to ensure ease of financing and
delivery.

“Phase 1 of the road is 1.7km long road. It spans between
Durban junction and the bridge. Phase 11 is the expansion
of the 700m long bridge, while Phase 111 is 1.65km long
road that spans between Okota Rd Junction and Fredric
Fasehun junction. The three phase have been completed
and in use. The phase IV is a 3.05km long road. Currently the
project has attained 45% completion with significant works
done on all the drainage/culvert and New Jersey barrier
works. Also work is at advance stage on relocation of
services, soil stabilization, and provision of crush stone
before laying of 80mm interlocking paving stone on a
segment of the road". The state government noted that
erosion and flooding within the carriageway has subsided
with the completion of drainage works on both sides of the
3.05 km road, adding that the inclement weather had
reduced the pace of activities on the road.

While assuring that pace of work will soon pick up, the
statement stressed that optional routes have been provided
and made motorable by the contractor. They include Lamidi
Ariyo, Folarin Fatunisi, Femi Kila, Ostra Lane, Zoostra Lane,
Hakeem Dosunmu, Prince Joseph Adebayo, Awka Etiti, Okiki
and Jemtok Street.
