In a bid for a greater and more developed city, the Lagos State Government has earmarked about 15 different roads in the state for rehabilitation and reconstruction. This comes barely a week after it flagged-off the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe expressway project, in what seems like concerted efforts in building and rehabilitating key infrastructures that can facilitate economic development.
The announcement was made today through the State Government’s official Twitter handle, as seen by Nairametrics.

Why it matters
Once the projects are completed, it will ameliorate the traffic situation on those roads and ease the plight of commuters.
Nicely, what of Ogunlana St at Egbeda.the street has been very bad since 2018 when the street sweepers has abandoned the area making it worse
And it used to be a relief street for major road users.
