The Lagos state government has
invited President Muhammadu Buhari to visit Lagos for the commissioning
of three choppers purchased by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s
administration.
The acquisition of the helicopters is part of Ambode’s efforts to beef up security within the metropolis.
According to Vanguard, Buhari’s visit will be the first time he is officially coming to Lagos since his inauguration.
The president will be handing over the helicopters to the police authorities for immediate operation.
Meanwhile, the LSG has disclosed plans to rehabilitate 189 identified deplorable roads, including the Ilasa-Ijesha bus stop, along Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
Engr Ayo Shodeinde, spokesman for the Lagos State Public Works Corporation (LSPWC), disclosed this ON Tuesday, November 24.
The disclosure was made at Aluasa, Ikeja, while Shodeinde was giving highlights of the state government’s efforts in the area of road infrastructural upgrade in the last six months.
He disclosed that Ambode has approved rehabilitation of 189 new roads across the state.
Shodeinde noted that despite the N52 billion being owed the state for the total number of federal roads fixed in the past, the state government since June 15, 2015, had rehabilitated 282 roads.
He said that “189 new roads have been listed for rehabilitation and construction work will soon commence.”
“When the Federal government repays us the debts, we will be able to rehabilitate more roads in the state,” Shodeinde noted.
