Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has drawn the attention of some stakeholders to the deplorable condition of two roads in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of the state.
At the legislative/executive parley held at Tulip Hotel recently, Fashola drew attention to the Ado-Soba road leading to Abule Ado and the one leading to the newly refurbished Tulip Hotel, now managed by the UAC Group.
In an informal chat with the Special Adviser to Governor Fashola on Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Johnson, Comrade Adewale Ayodele, Chairman of Amuwo Odofin council who is from Ward B in the area and Mrs. Bola Badmus, the Deputy Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, who also represents the area in the state Assembly, the governor urged them to find a lasting solution to the roads.
Ado-Soba road is not only bad, its culvert recently caved and the Amuwo Odofin council has constructed the drainage channels on both sides of the road.
Important dignitaries that have link with the road include the National Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, who has his residence around Soba.
The community’s monarch, Alado of Adoland, Oba Lateef Olayinka Ado, had several times, made pleas to the authorities to fix the roads. He had often argued that Adoland gave part of its territory to FESTAC and the International Trade Fair Complex.
Meanwhile, Fashola has urged Badmus, Comrade Ayodele, his Special Adviser and other stakeholders in the area to put the machinery in motion to attract the necessary attention that the roads deserve.
