“He may not construct new roads but aggressively maintain roads in Lagos State and ensure they use quality materials.

“They must be patching roads every day and resolve to achieve a lot with what is available to them.

“Also, all the adjoining roads should be repaired in order to reduce the burden on the major roads so that people can take alternative routes,” he said.

According to the NBA chairman, the consequences of deplorable roads tell on the people’s health.

“The hospitals they want to go to are in a terrible state, so, there must be a concerted effort on the part of Lagos State Government to shore up health facilities as well,” Oloke said.

On education, the NBA chairman said: “every child deserves to be educated because if they are not, they become problem to those that are educated.”
