The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday passed a resolution urging Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode to direct relevant agencies to urgently carry out repairs on Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The resolution followed a motion by Mr Fatai Mojeed (APC-Ibeju-Lekki I), who told the house that the highway was in a bad condition and posed a serious danger to motorists and commuters.

“The state government should come to the aid of people in this area to end untold hardship they go through everyday plying the highway.”

The motion was unanimously supported by members present at the plenary.

In his remark, the Speaker of the house, Mr Mudashiru Obasa, said that the highway was very important to the state.

“In order to reduce man hours being spent on that road, this house urges Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode to direct relevant agencies to urgently carry out repairs on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.” (NAN)
