Eti-Osa Transforms Ogunyemi Street with Major Road Upgrade
The once-troubled road, known for drainage challenges and difficult access, is gradually being rebuilt into a more modern and durable roadway aimed at improving movement, environmental sanitation and the overall quality of life for residents.
Construction crews are currently engaged in intensive drainage channel construction, road grading and sharp sand filling ahead of the installation of paving stones. The upgraded drainage infrastructure is expected to play a key role in tackling persistent flooding issues that have affected the area during rainy seasons.
Residents and business owners have expressed optimism over the project, describing it as a long-awaited intervention that will ease transportation challenges, improve daily commuting and support commercial activities within the community.
Local government officials say the reconstruction forms part of a wider urban development strategy focused on upgrading roads, improving connectivity and creating safer, cleaner and flood-resistant neighbourhoods across Eti-Osa.
Authorities also believe the project will boost local businesses, strengthen security and increase property value in the rapidly developing community once completed.
The administration of Omo’ba (Dr) Adeola Alimot Adetoro has continued to prioritise infrastructure renewal and community-focused development, with road rehabilitation, drainage expansion and environmental sustainability remaining central to its agenda for grassroots transformation.
