In the News Earlier....
In the last three years, the state government has installed street light on 410 kilometers of roads in the city.
Governor Fashola, who switched on the 11.8 kilometre stretch of public lighting covering Ikorodu Road to Iddo via Jibowu and Murtala Mohammed Way in Yaba, said it was another fulfilment of some of the promises made to the people during his electioneering campaigns.
He said: “The lighting, I believe, will help this place on a daily basis. At nights, it will make security better; it will also improve the night economy in this community.”
He further explained that apart from providing jobs for a total of 89 people made up of 56 technicians, 12 painters, 10 welders, eight engineers and three supervisors, the project has increased the amount of functioning public lighting within the state to 410 kilometres while it signifies government’s continued commitment to light up the city, which in turn, will reduce crimes.
Other major highways where public lighting project has been installed in the last three years include Gbagada Expressway, Carter Bridge, Iju Road, Ahmadu Bello Way, Marina Road (Badagry) and Alhaji Masha (Surulere), among others.
Today...
Today I met a member of Lagos State Electricity Board (LSEB) they were initially snapping and counting meters of the streets where the street lights are going to be place so I thought I was supposed to knoe what is it they are doing so I went to them and I asked one of them. He said they have been lighting up the streets as the story above says and before this time next year it should be ready.
"We are the Lagos State Electricity Board And We are trying to make sure street lights are in every street of Lagos.
We are already Doing it and before this time next year it should be ready"
