Lagos State Government has begun immediate repairs of potholes across the State, with over eighty-seven major roads enlisted for intervention.

The Lagos State Public Works Corporation and Drainage, was directed by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to commence immediate rehabilitation of critical roads across the State.

According to its Special Adviser, Temidayo Erinle, the roads mapped out for repair were presently in terrible state, and that the situation was impeding free flow of traffic in those areas with its attendant consequences.

Erinle said quite a number of complaints were received from residents and motorists on the State of the roads and how it was directly affecting travel time which in turn had negative effects on the ease of doing business in the State.
