Ifedola Estate Residents Demand Completion of Drainage Project

Residents of Ifedola Estate, located in the Meiran-Ilewe area of the Alimosho Local Government Area in Lagos State, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the ongoing drainage project that has been under construction for more than three years. Initially expected to be completed within 12 months, the project has faced significant delays, leading to deteriorating road conditions that complicate movement, particularly during the rainy season.

Kenny Bamgbose, a resident, emphasized the adverse effects on students and called for the Lagos State Government to expedite the project and ensure quality work. Oluwaseyi Ogunbo, Chairman of Ifedola Meiran Community Development Area, noted that the project was initially progressing well under the first contractor but has since stalled after being reassigned to another contractor.

He highlighted the need for government oversight to ensure timely completion and quality standards, as the community awaits improvements to several roads, including Shupobare Street, Unity Valley, and Tunde Oginni Crescent.
