The Lekki Estates Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA) has commended the Lagos State Government for its continued commitment to rehabilitating the Eti-Osa/Lekki-Epe Expressway, following a stakeholders' meeting convened to discuss repairs to additional damaged sections of the major traffic corridor.
The meeting, organised by the Office of Infrastructure under the Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, was held at Lekki Toll Plaza 1 (Extension), Eti-Osa. It brought together government officials, relevant agencies, elected representatives, contractors and community stakeholders to discuss the proposed rehabilitation works and the way forward.
The LASG team was led by Engr. Olufemi Daramola, Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure. The Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Tokunbo Oyenuga, was also on ground.
The planned intervention will cover damaged portions of the expressway, including the Bonny Camp–Admiralty Way Junction and Victoria Garden City (VGC) stretches. The rehabilitation is expected to be carried out in phases, with the first phase focusing on the Adetokunbo Ademola Street and Samuel Manuwa Street section, identified as a priority due to the poor condition of the road.
The rehabilitation project has been awarded to CRCC, which will undertake the works in line with the agreed implementation plan.
Speaking at the meeting, the President of LERSA, Alhaji (Chief) Sulyman Bello, commended the Lagos State Government for its continued investment in road infrastructure and its efforts to address the challenges faced by residents and commuters along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
He reaffirmed LERSA's commitment to supporting the government's ongoing rehabilitation efforts, noting that improved road infrastructure is essential to the safety, mobility and economic development of communities across the Lekki Peninsula.
Alhaji Bello also emphasised the importance of sustained collaboration between the government, relevant agencies and community stakeholders to ensure the successful execution of the project and minimise the impact of the construction works on residents and businesses.
Among those in attendance were Hon. Noheem Babatunde Adams, Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly; Hon. Desmond Olushola Elliot, Member, Lagos State House of Assembly; the General Manager of the Lagos State Public Works Corporation (LSPWC), Engr. Tokunbo Ajanaku; representatives of Iru-Victoria Island LCDA and Eti-Osa Local Government; and other government and infrastructure officials.
LERSA was represented by Mr. Femi Oke, Chairman of the Transportation Committee; Pastor Adewale Aderoju, Chairman of the Infrastructure Committee; and Mr. John Arigbabu, Chairman of the Operations Integration Group Committee.
LERSA reiterates its commitment to constructive engagement with the Lagos State Government and other relevant stakeholders in advancing sustainable infrastructure development, improving road conditions and promoting a safer, more accessible and better-connected Lekki-Epe corridor.
