The authority of Ikorodu Local Government has promised that the ongoing water passage project across the central part of Lagos’s waterbed region will be completed by April 2023.
It stated that the project which began in November, 2022 is nearing its completion stage.
According to the council chairman, Hon. Wasiu Adesina, the project should be finalised by the end of first quarter of 2023.
He said it is the lengthiest drainage project executed by a Local Government in Lagos State.
Adesina stated that the drainage was constructed during the Late Lateef Jakande’s governorship tenure between 1979 and 1983, and has since been dilapidated.
“I saw the need to restructure the drainage, and make it elevated to ease the passage of water, plus a slab on top of it, serving as a walkway because the passage is very narrow.
“It forsook worsened state resulted in gutter blockage which causes homes to drench in water during the rainy season”.
“But now, with this avant-garde upgrade and adequate channelling, the ancestral axis of Ikorodu Local Government will be safe from water smog,” he explained.
The drainage system stretches from the state-of-the-art mini stadium and Youth Activity Centre in Ita-Elewa to Ikorodu central mosque, measuring a staggering length of 176.8 meters.
