Residents of Surulere, Oke Oko Ibereko in Olorunda Local Council Area of Lagos State, South West Nigeria, have appealed to the state governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, to extend the dividends of democracy to them by constructing Alaka Street road with good drainage channels before the whole community is submerged by flood, especially now that the rains are heavy.
Speaking on behalf of the residents, the traditional ruler and member of Raji Fashola Fans Club, High Chief Z.A. Alaka, said people always find it very difficult to get to their places of abode whenever it rains and therefore called for urgent rehabilitation of the road.
He lauded Fashola for his sterling leadership quality, noting that Lagos is now the envy of other states in the Federation because of the governor’s giant strides.
Alaka called on other political office holders to emulate Fashola, while thanking him for the expansion of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway already in progress.
The traditional ruler, however, wants government to provide good roads, drainage channels, pipe-borne water, community hall and mini health centre, among other social amenities in the area, while urging the council boss, Amida Abudu, not to relent in his effort in ensuring better development in the area, just as he pledged the continued support of his subjects for the chairman at all times.
