REJOINDER ON ONGOING REHABILITATION OBA ERINWOLE ROAD AND REQUEST FOR FLYOVER BRIDGES

In response to our publication on substandard road rehabilitation ongoing at Oba Erinwole road, the Press Officer at Ministry of Works & Infrastructure said the road project is being implemented according to standard entrenchment and scope of work, stating “the contested road was awarded in Two (2) Phases. Phase 1 was the sectional reconstruction of failed sections especially towards the canal.

The phase 2 activities which do not require stone-base activity, are already ongoing with the milling of the existing asphalt surface, application of tack-coat and resealing with asphalt.”

Mr. Olayinka Olufemi further explained efforts to completely eliminate pedestrian-vehicular conflict experienced daily are ongoing to construct pedestrian flyover, at Sagamu express junction along Sagamu/Benin expressway, around Total Sagamu and NPF Area Command.

In an interaction session with the commissioner on phone chat with our correspondent, he was made to understand that; our concern is that quality must not be compromised

And the response from him was that: I agree  with you, quality is the key and my staff are monitoring the project.
