The Executive Chairman of Alimosho Local Government, Hon. Akinpelu Ibrahim Johnson, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to infrastructural renewal, assuring residents that the proposed construction of Adeyemi/Adepeju Street in Ward C will be completed within six months.
Akinpelu gave the assurance during a stakeholders’ meeting with residents and community leaders to discuss the proposed project, which is one of the two roads selected by Alimosho Local Government under the Lagos State Government’s 114 Roads Project.
Speaking at the meeting, the chairman explained that the initiative covers all local governments across Lagos State, with each council selecting two roads for construction. He said Adeyemi/Adepeju Street was selected as one of the beneficiary roads in Alimosho, adding that the project would improve accessibility, enhance the living conditions of residents and promote socio-economic activities in the area.
He reiterated his administration’s determination to deliver sustainable and quality infrastructure across the local government, stressing that the welfare and development needs of residents remain central to its governance priorities.
The Vice Chairman and Supervisor for Works, Hon. Adebisi Francis, explained that the construction of the two roads selected by the council would be funded through the local government’s allocation. He disclosed that the project would include drainage channels on both sides of the road to facilitate effective water flow and reduce the risk of flooding.
Francis introduced the contractor handling the project, Engineer Yusuf Yinus of Jefty and Sons, assuring residents that the council would closely monitor the construction to ensure compliance with required standards.
Providing technical details, the Council Engineer, Engr. Oladapo Oluseyi, said the proposed road would measure approximately 790 metres and be constructed with interlocking stones.
He added that the project would feature a covered drainage system, with each drainage channel measuring approximately 0.75 metres in width and a total drainage construction length of about 180 metres.
Oluseyi appealed to residents and other community stakeholders to cooperate with the contractor to ensure the smooth and timely execution of the project.
In his remarks, Akinpelu urged residents, particularly youths and other individuals in the community, to refrain from harassing or obstructing the contractors, emphasising the need for a peaceful and supportive environment for the successful delivery of the project.
The Chairman of Adeyemi/Alake Street Community Development Association (CDA), Pa. Sunday, expressed appreciation to the council chairman for extending infrastructural development to the community, describing the intervention as unprecedented in the history of the CDA.
He offered prayers for divine guidance, wisdom and a successful tenure for the chairman.
Another CDA member also commended Johnson for personally visiting the community, engaging residents and seeking firsthand information about their needs and concerns.
The vote of thanks was delivered by the Councillor representing Ward C, Hon. Ganiu Abiodun, who appreciated the chairman, other dignitaries, community leaders and residents for their participation and contributions to the meeting.
