The Executive Chairman of Ethiope West Local Government Council, Hon. Christian Onogba, has commenced palliative repair works on major failed portions of roads within the Oghara axis.
The intervention, which began this week, is channeled towards improving road safety, accessibility, and the general welfare of residents.
Key areas currently receiving attention include the bad portions in front of Amena Hotels, the former Ovie Palace in Apapa, General Hospital Junction, the frontage of Rain Oil Filling Station, the mosque area in Ajanesa, Ibori Roundabout, Sakponba Street, and other connecting routes leading to the expressway.
Speaking on the exercise, the Supervisor for Environment, Ethiope West Local Government, Hon. Wisdom Gabriel, said the palliative works were aimed at addressing immediate challenges posed by deteriorating road surfaces.
According to him, the intervention is designed to reduce risks to motorists and pedestrians while enhancing the smooth movement of people and goods within the council area.
“The Chairman’s approach is practical and people-oriented. Rather than waiting for full reconstruction of every road, we are taking immediate steps to provide relief to road users,” Gabriel stated.
He added that Hon. Onogba remains resolute in ensuring that the dividends of democratic representation are felt across Ethiope West.
The Supervisor further disclosed that the road-repair initiative would be replicated in other parts of the local government, with priority given to areas experiencing similar challenges.
“By improving these critical road corridors, the council is taking another important step toward creating a safer, more accessible, and economically vibrant Ethiope West,” he said.
Gabriel assured residents that they should expect more interventions as the administration continues to prioritize projects that directly impact their lives.
