Lagos builds road to connect Ikorodu with Lagos-Ibadan expressway



The Lagos state government says it has started the construction of the road project that would link the Agric area of Ikorodu to Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Akinwunmi Ambode, the state governor, said this on Tuesday at a stakeholders’ meeting on the road.

He said it would cut through the Arepo area of Ogun state, PUNCH reports.

Represented by Rotimi Ogunleye, the state commissioner for commerce, industries and cooperatives, the governor said the state has also approved the reconstruction of Igbe/Igbogbo/Bola Tinubu network of roads.

He added that the road would be a dual carriageway and would also serve as another link to Sagamu.

“The Agric-Isawo-Konu-Arepo Road will have a link bridge that will connect the state to the Ogun State boundary, which will link the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,” Ambode said.

Temidayo Erinle, permanent secretary, the state ministry of works and infrastructure, said there would be 10 lay-byes and bus stops on the road, as well as traffic signals, street lights and drainage systems.

He added that the first phase of the road construction would begin 400 metres from Ikorodu road at Agric bus stop, “with a total length of over seven kilometres”.

The road project is expected to be completed in 18 months.

 KAMASUTRA LESSONS: 1. Kamasutra says : If you suck one nipple, the women herself offers the other one. And that was the origin of "buy one get one free"! 2.

Before sex, you help each other get naked. After sex, you dress only yourself. Moral: In life no one helps you once you're screwed. 4. Success is like pregnancy.

A Kenyan woman has listed the reasons Nairobi women admire Nigerian men and they are quite interesting! According to Cate Mukei, Nairobi women love Nigerian men so much that they would walk through Sahara desert without water and food just to get one. "Some even go to an extent of praying about on to their pastors or signing up to online platforms where they hope to find ogas. Naija brodas on the other hand seem to have mastered some of the weird reasons why our women love them and have perfected them." Below are some of the reasons Nairobi women admire Naija brodas: 1.

"Don't let people kiss your baby" mother warns after newborn baby girl dies days after someone with herpes kissed her

Image
An 18-day-old baby has died after she contracted a life-threatening herpes infection through a kiss. Baby Mariana was born healthy on July 1, however, on July 7, which was her parents' wedding day, she became ill and had to be rushed to the hospital where doctors tried unsuccessfully to save her life.

They came here and asked us to roast cashew nuts for them. “What Nigeria currently does is ship the nuts to Vietnam, which in turn roasts and sell to the US.

According to Ruggedman, ' A woman has just been arrested for exchanging her 2 month old baby for a bag of rice. That's how hard the situation in our country is getting.

An industry that men and women have single handedly built? BIG JOKE! ' 'We watch you use the country any how you like because unfortunately, you are the ones at the helm of affairs.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lia Mohammed, has shed more light on plans by the Federal government to stop entertainers and movie makers from shooting their jobs outside the shores of Nigeria. Last Saturday, Lai Mohammed disclosed this plan when he spoke at the  Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) House in Lagos. In a recent chat with Premiumtimes, Lai Mohammed said the proposed ban would help tackle the exploitation of perceived loopholes in the Nigerian Broadcasting Code, NBC. “The NBC code today as it stands has been exploited and not defined and that’s why movies being directed by Nigerians with Nigerian actors, actresses can be shot in South Africa and then brought back to be consumed in Nigeria. All we are saying is that we are going to amend the code in a manner that it will not be possible for you to exploit any loophole there to go and shoot outside Nigeria film, music or programs that are meant to be consumed in Nigeria".
