Lagos State Government has declared a state of emergency on various dilapidated highways and carriages.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday at the Lagos House Marina, ordered massive construction work on critical roads and highways across the state, beginning from Monday .

The governor said all the eight engineering firms had been given the mandate to immediately mobilise their equipment on the sites and commence major construction works on the identified roads.” To complement the major construction work on the highway, Sanwo-Olu said Lagos State Public Works Corporation would be carrying out repairs of 116 inner roads across the State. This, he said, would be in addition to over 200 roads already rehabilitated by the corporation in the last three months.

Sanwo-Olu said officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be working round the clock to control traffic on the areas where the construction would take place.

This is what is needed in the state

Well done our dear governor

NO be by that one now make them do am already!

More work, less talk abeg

kfayemi , you need to do same for Ekiti roads, in fact even FG needs same

Guess his senses just returned to him

We dont need state of emergency. Just fill up the pot holes on strategic roads. All the while that we had just potholes to deal with, we had slow moving traffic but with your state of emergency, its complete lockdown on airport road-cele mile 2. Your govt is 2 SLOW & reactionary.

I hope ijede road in Ikorodu is inclusive?

Better

Big brother Naija is finally over for our governor

Nonsense

good news. please let it not be political statement but action statement.

The government of Lagos State is sleeping, almost all the road in Lagos State is in bad shape and they will continue telling you that Lagos State is working, may this emergency bring out good result

Plenty of noise Zero action But what do you expect.... When he was only an anointed candidate that walked into a high office without working for it... Let him prove Lagosians wrong that he is not just a stooge and a puppet. Ambode was independent minded And that was his sin...

The press is one of the challenges we have as a nation. Waiting for public outcry to do his job has become breaking news? What's a governor's job?

TrackaNG Aswani road to Osolo way has been like hell with traffic since 3 weeks now.😡😡😡

In the last five month outside Lagos I haven't expressing any hold up, with my schedule like to take me to lag incoming days, I have started feeling the anguish of hours in hold up. The last time I used 3hrs btw Berger and Ibafo with no tangible excuse!

It is not about state of emergency, rather it is about state of action, this also shows how the past govt. Of Lagos as failed! And this is the boy product I don't see anything happening beyond this headlines. With the resources generate in the state this is an eyesore!

State emergency on Lagos roads should not be mere motion without movement.

I am beginning to suspect bad boys are digging holes in Lagos roads!!! Enemies of progress. jidesanwoolu RootingForSanwoolu

The roads had better be fixed with good drainage simultaneously else it's a fruitless effort.

It was long overdue.

Audio talk

Someone says ' audio state of emergency'

What baffles me is that the same party has controlled Lagos forever. One would have expected continuous development, improvement and continuity. Why should there be a lull just because there’s a different governor?

I only hope jidesanwoolu means this big time, cos this issue is no longer a joke. People lose their lives and properties from Lagos traffic alone everyday. As much as I like this man, if he fails to deliver on this,I'll be d first to come for you on here.

Any officials trying to check road worthy certificate of any car in Lagos need serious beating ... Is the road car worthy?

Who was it Who woke up this sleepyhead to notice the state of Lagos roads? No one should raise our hopes o! We’ve accepted the fact of no governance for the next 4years!

Omogbaiii Naija with different problems

Lagos state Govt. Should refund money pay to VIO for road worthiness. After all the roads are not car worthy. Abi I lie

I guess his not among the lagocian

Talking Governor. He jidesanwoolu can only do the talking

The truth is we don't have a governor in Lagos . .very sad

Sanwo-Olu has just woken up from slumber and as usual, the first thing was to make declaration. hmmn

It seems like it never rained during the time of Ambode and Fashola in Lagos

I don't understand the state of emergency. What we need is traffic management and road maintenance. All the emergency is a waste of time. Propaganda Issh.☝️

Him just become governor ni

News like this does not excite me. Let's see the work done.

We should stop hoping for good governance from this people. We won’t get any.

Na today? Where is my fashola Raji pls come and help us in Lagos

Action Now sir !

The way he came to power his not answerable to lagosians rather to jagaban.

Government magic.. this government can lie, another avenue for looting.

Knowing the level of insensitivity deployed by contractors in association with the inefficiency of traffic control agencies, Lagosians should brace up for even more hideous traffic.

Is he the governor?

This was the first declaration he made when he took the mantle yet nothing has changed since then. The state of Lagos roads even got more bad.

TrackaNG And I hope is not substandard mataerial that Direct labour are using after small downpours d road will get worsen

Not by mere words ,we need action

Useless Selfish wicked criminals Souls 🖕🖕🖕

Who declares state of emergency cos of road!!!! This man is very funny.well Govo on a platter of gold.

What a mess

So what is breaking about this news?

He has to. It is an emergency.

Yea those road need quick n urgent attention.

Derek74399105 he just woke up from his slumber.

Where are those saying he will start repairs when the rain stops?

E don wake?

I am never impressed with promises. His political party was found of that. Empty promises and lies!!!. Over 200 roads! Where? We shall see by God's grace

Somebody is just waking up from his deep sleep . Na wao, what a leaders we have.

The most clueless governor in the history of Lagos State in my opinion.

This man nor dey play with state of emergency oooooo.

Make we begin run?

You are just a joke

Good one

With all the money Lagos is generating, I wonder why the roads are these terrible.

Audio promised & is today? Point and kill Governor: the same way u said papa grid lock would disappeared within 1 month he taken over. I beg pack-well not

State of emergency my foot. Its time to pack debris on the road in the name of repair at the time people are going to work. This one na one chance goverment. Citizens will wise up one day.

Just like the way sanwono declared emergency on Apapa road .,... Audio roads.....

Wait iyanapaja road to toll gate no dey Dre, abi no be part of Lagos

But not until the rains are over. No serious road construction work can be done at the moment.

Great!!! God bless yr wisdom sir

TrackaNG Tinubus mega city nonsense.

Audio!

Action Sir Mr Governor !!! Ur zeal,Ur efforts,Ur determined mind ND d blessing of Him above shall enable u receive d applause of Lagosans ND Nigerians at large. Oya match on Sir

Jus negodu! What’s a sitting governor calling state of emergency on his own roads? Did a natural disaster befall the roads? Abi he hasn’t seen the roads since he moved in, not to mention before? These guys have finally called us fools to our faces.

I tot during ur campaign u promised to fixed all bad roads in lagos within 6 months

Na PDP cause am.

If that will bring amendment on Lagos road , well go ahead

Emeka Ihedioha see ya mate

The traffic caused by agberos too... Blocking highways and streets with illegal tollgates. Shd be looked into. Lagos now has several idle guys acting like LGA touts disrupting traffic. Let's the govt take a look at this

Say God!

How come he's not blaming PDP's 16 years rule He didn't finish the initiation manual

Not one good road in Lagos anymore right from your door step

jidesanwoolu Well, he's appreciated for that 👍.. Let him, Lagos state & d Federal Govt pay more attention to the worst roads in Lagos currently: ALAKIJA UNDER BRIDGE-BRIDGE-AGBAARA-OKOKO-BADAGRY ROADS 🙏🙏... Also, TINCAN ISLAND, APAPA-COCONUT-BERGER-MILE 2 ROADS.. 🙏🙏..
