A resident, Florence Philips, who spoke with Vanguard, said: “Please let us help our state to avoid any bad incidents from occurring. Please let us escalate this to relevant authorities at the Federal and state level, in particular, the Minister for Works, Umahi and Deputy Governor in the state, Dr Obafemi Hamzat to do the needful now before it is too late.”

Also, residents and motorists around Ikotun-Igando Local Council Development Area, LCDA, in Alimosho, have urged the state government to fix the fast degrading culvert by the Ikotun market along Ikotun-Egbe Road.

A concerned resident and motorist in the area, Hassan Kabiru, urged the government to fix the culvert to avert impending disaster.

He said: “The government should focus on the Ikotun Market canal culvert as it is a vital link from Ikotun to other parts of the Mainland and Island.

“It is a section of the Canal road at Ikotun Market, inward Synagogue Church from Ikotun roundabout. It’s been like this for years and disaster is sure waiting to happen if nothing is done to fix it.

“It’s also one of the causes of the perennial traffic as one of the lanes has been cut-off.”
