The Chairman of Isolo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Shamsudeen Olaleye (Shammeh), has assured the residents of Ishagatedo community that he would complete the construction of Adebayo Street.
This was in response to the appeal by the residents, who urged,him to complete the seemingly abandoned construction work on the street before heavy rain starts.
Speaking on behalf of the chairman, his Media and Publicity Consultant, Mr. Sharafadeen Olaleye explained that the council has been putting resources together to continue the work on the project soon.
He said the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic and its resultant months of total lockdown were some of the reasons the project was suspended, reassuring that plans are underway for the contractor to return to the site.
The construction work is being handled by Ola-Fathia Nigeria Limited and upon completion, it is expected to complement the previous work carried out on Olokun and part of Baale Streets.
He also informed that the ongoing work on Moshalashi Street in Akinbaiye Ward would soon be completed as well, stating that the work has reached 90 percent completion level.
He, however, appealed to the residents for more co-operation with the government on the projects.
He noted that another set of ongoing projects which are scheduled to be completed soon include the construction of one-storey building of chairman’s office and the reconstruction of a block of offices in the council secretariat, which he said may be commissioned with the Moshalashi Street as soon they are completed.
