The Lagos State Waste Management Authority has unveiled the third waste transfer loading station in the Agege area of the state. It is one of the proposed 20 stations required to manage the over 11, 000 metric tonnes of waste generated daily in the state, according to the agency. The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said solid waste management in the state had gone beyond the norm of collection and transportation, and now occupied a key position, playing a paramount role in urban hygiene, sustainable development and governance. He said, “These facilities are major landmark in the quest for development in the waste management sector in particular and other public utility services. “This facility will not only reduce turnaround time, it will reduce cost on overhead such as fuelling and other consumables and enhance the shelf life of equipment with a multiplier effect on general hygiene.” Fashola also urged residents of the state to ensure

  More than 80 new road schemes, including a long-awaited plan to tunnel under Stonehenge, will be announced on Monday in what ministers describe as the most far-reaching roads programme in decades. The £15bn initiative, which covers investment lasting up to 2021, will be set out in the government’s first road investment strategy, which also includes improvements to junctions on the M25, to the A27 in Sussex, to approaches to Liverpool, and to the A1 in the north-east of England. It comes as a report from the RAC Foundation predicts there could be an additional 7 million road users in England and Wales – taking the total to 43 million – within 20 years. The most eye-catching proposal is to spend £2bn turning the A303 into a strategic corridor to the south-west, partly by building a 1.8-mile dual-carriageway tunnel at Stonehenge. The road, which links the M3 to Devon and is known as the “holiday trail”, is notorious for its tailbacks, where frustrated famil

For residents of Oluwakemi, Olasepe, Denro, Ishasi, Akute in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, it is faster to move from one point to the other in a canoe than in a car. The residents seemed to have given up hope on the reconstruction of a flood-ravaged road that links them to the Ojodu-Berger axis of Lagos. The road was said to have been worsened by the blocked drains in the area which could not contain the erosion resulting from perennial rainfall and discharge from an Ogun dam. It was revealed   that passersby had to take their times wading through the flooded portion of the road while children could not go to school. In a visit to the communities around 9am on Monday, The Punch Metro correspondent sighted a bus and a van submerged in the water. Workers and students, who could not dare the volume of the surge, boarded canoes while others were strapped on the back for a fee of N100 by some men in the area.

The governor, who made the clarification at the City Hall, Lagos, venue of the Public presentation a historic book on Lagos, ‘Possession- A History of Law and Justice In The Crown Colony of Lagos; 1861 – 1906’, authored by former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of the State, Mr. Olasupo Shasore (SAN), said because of ignorance of the history of Lagos, most people make spurious assumptions and statements that offend the sensibility of Lagosians such as the one by the Federal Government saying it has sold the Tafawa Balewa Square.
