Eko Hot Blog reports Olorunfunmi Basorun, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Secretary to the Lagos State Government during the tenure of late Alhaji Lateef Jakande, has passionately urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu not to overlook the developmental needs of Ikorodu.
In an exclusive conversation with Basorun highlighted the pressing issues, particularly the state of roads and the need for accessible water supply in the area.
Basorun expressed concern over the condition of several roads in Ikorodu, describing them as “unmotorable.” He called on the government to pay attention to the roads around Ikorodu, specifically mentioning areas such as Itamaga, Imota, and Maya, where the road infrastructure requires immediate improvement.
He noted the historical significance of alternative routes, stressing the importance of revamping them for the benefit of the residents.
“It is not only Igbogbo that feels neglected, it is the whole of Ikorodu,” Basorun asserted, urging the government to prioritize road rehabilitation in the region.
Additionally, Basorun called for the provision of water to residents in Ikorodu, emphasizing the absence of government-supplied water in the area. “Do you see any government water anywhere?” he questioned, making a heartfelt appeal for the state government to address the water supply challenges faced by the people of Ikorodu.
In response to these concerns, the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, assured that no part of the state had been abandoned. Omotoso highlighted the significant infrastructure developments already carried out in Ikorodu, including completed roads such as Oba Sekumade Road and ongoing projects like the Agric-Isawo Road and Bola Tinubu-Igbogbo Road.
he further pointed to housing projects and the construction of a youth center in Igbogbo as evidence of the government’s commitment to the area.
“We can do more, and we are going to do more,” Omotoso affirmed, addressing Basorun’s concerns while highlighting the administration’s plans for further enhancements in Ikorodu.
