Commercial bike riders at Shyllon Street, sub area of palm grove
area in Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye local government, in Lagos state has commended the local
government chairman for coming to their aid, concerning the bad road, which was
repaired.
Speaking to some the bike riders, most of them did not
believe that such a thing could be done, as they believed that once you cry to
them for help, they don’t do the job immediately, but are surprised by the work
the chairman has done.
According to Idris Wahab, he said that “when I resume
working on Friday, I was surprised at what I saw; some men were busy repairing
the road. It’s a thing of joy to me because, the way I spent money to repair my
bike (Okada), will reduce to an extent”. He noted.
Also speaking was John Meniwa, who said “I’m happy that they
remembered the road, because this road has been in a bad shape, during the
raining season, it always the worst”, but now with the road done I can see that
the flood will not be a thing to worry about”. He said
He also urged the local government chairman to extend their
good works to other areas, which need to be repair. “I want to use this medium,
to appeal to the chairman; it is not only this road that was needed to be
repaired, but others too need urgent repair”; it will be great if it will be
done”. He added.
Some residents who spoke to inside Lagos, said that what the
local chairman did was a great way of showing to them, that he still have them
in mind, but urged him to carry out more work, because some area in the local
government needs to be done, especially drainages.
One of the resident of the area, Jimoh Abubakar, said “ what
they did was a sign that good things
were set to come, but it should be extend to other areas of the local
government”, the street will be free of flood, when it rains, but others
streets in the area may not get the same benefits”.
He however pleaded with the local government chairman Mr. Yemi Alli, to come to the aid of the people living
in the area.
