LASG lists five council roads for completion by year-end

The Lagos State Government has announced the scheduled completion of five major road projects in the Alimosho Local Government Area by the final quarter of 2025.

“The Managing Director of the construction company handling the 5km dual carriageway at Ijegun-Ijagemo, Alex Tang-Li, reaffirmed his team’s commitment to delivering the road and completing it with modern facilities by November.

“The road projects are expected to ease the burden of traffic congestion in the Alimosho axis and support economic activity in the areas,” the statement said.
