FG rehabilitates two Ikorodu township street roads with N498 million
The federal government has completed the rehabilitation of two township street roads in Ikorodu as part of its federal constituency projects in Lagos state.
The two road projects, done by the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), were awarded to LRB Global Investment Ltd, and JRB Construction Co. Ltd. at a total cost of N498 million.
The first road, comprising Ayanbadejo and Alhaji Ajoke Oduyebo Streets is 1.1 km in length, while the second road, also measuring 1.1 km, is made up of Kaz Avenue, Ajeboriogbon and Nike Olubodu Streets.
FRC South-West zonal team leader, Victoria Adiwu, said on Wednesday that the two roads were completed in October and had been opened for the users.
“The contractors of the two projects have been so generous, going to site without collecting any money from government before completing the roads project.
“The beneficiaries of the road have commended government efforts for boosting their sales due to good road provided for them.
“One challenge we are facing here is about the maintenance of the road by the end users because we discover that the gutters by the road is already filled up with refuse,” Mrs Adiwu said.
She appealed to the community to maintain the roads and protect them from vandals.
