Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State on Monday said he had
given approval for the extension of the 10-lane Oshodi-International Airport
road project to Ladipo bus-stop on the Apapa/Oshodi expressway.
“There is no point reconstructing the Airport Road if it is not
extended to this point, and the extension will also complement the ongoing
project within the market,” Mr. Ambode told traders at the Ladipo spare parts
market.
He was addressing the traders during an inspection tour of some
ongoing projects in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 10-lane
Oshodi-International Airport road project is scheduled for completion later
this year.
Mr. Ambode appealed to traders at the Ladipo spare parts market
to give way for contractors to rehabilitate and reconstruct roads within the
market.
According to him, the traders selling on the road are delaying
the contractor’s work, which may have effect on the project’s expected time of
delivery in May.
“The only reason why this project will not be delivered is if
you continue to obstruct the contractor.
“You need to talk to yourselves; I do not want any trading on
this road until it is finished,” Mr. Ambode said.
The governor, who said he was committed to bringing development
to the market, urged the market leaders to appeal to the traders and cooperate
with the contractor.
Mr. Ambode also inspected the ongoing Oshodi Transport
terminals, roads on Ketu-Alapere axis and the Eko Arts Theatre beside Opebi
Link Bridge.
NAN reports that the Oshodi Transport Terminals are expected to
be delivered by August this year.
The Vice President, Ladipo Spare Parts Market, Jude Nwankwo, in
his response assured Mr. Ambode of total cooperation of all the traders.
