Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday blamed heavy duty trucks belonging to Dangote Group as being responsible for continuous damages on most of the roads in the state.

The lawmakers stated this while debating on a motion titled “Need to Ensure Good Quality and Condition of Roads in the State”, moved by Abiodun Tobun, the member representing Epe Constituency 1.

Tobun in the motion noted that in spite of the quantum of tax payers money being spent on road construction in the state, most of the roads in the state remain in bad condition either because they were done in a shoddy manner or not done at all, adding that the money released for the projects were not properly spent.

He further explained that after most of the roads are repaired, heavy duty vehicles ply the road without regard for the damage done to the roads.
