Hon. Moshood entered into the partnership with the Lagos State Public Works Corporation (LSPWC), to initiate essential road palliative measures in Ikorodu Constituency II, and ensure smoother and safer transportation.
In a statement released today by the Media aide to the lawmaker, Mr Kabir Rasaq, the collaborative efforts between the representative and the LSPWC, have commenced with the grading of Ire One road, Agunfe and the launch of palliative measures on Ijede, Igbopa/ Ewu-Owa roads.

These undertakings underscore Hon. Aro Moshood Abiodun’s commitment to improving road infrastructure and advancing mobility for the people of Ikorodu Constituency II”, he said.
The lawmaker, according to the statement, is also collaborating with others in the Lagos State House of Assembly, in addressing the deplorable state of roads in Lagos State. Members of the House, on Tuesday, resolved on inviting the LSPWC for discussion on how to address the situation and lessen residents’ suffering.
“While significant progress is anticipated, Hon. Aro Moshood Abiodun has also joined his fellow legislators in highlighting the deteriorating condition of roads across Lagos State. They have collectively called for an expedited resolution to the ongoing road construction projects across the state, including Adeboruwa-Bola Ahmed-Igbe Road, Obafemi Awolowo Way-Baiyeku road, and Gberigbe road. Recognizing the urgency of these transportation arteries, the Assembly is committed to alleviating the inconvenience faced by commuters and fostering regional economic growth”, he said.
“In response to these concerns, the Lagos State House of Assembly has taken proactive measures by inviting key government officials for discussions on the pressing need for improved road infrastructure.
“During a recent plenary session, numerous lawmakers expressed their deep concerns over the deteriorating state of roads in their respective constituencies. As a result, a motion was presented on the floor of the House, seeking a declaration of a state of emergency on Lagos State road infrastructure.
“The Lagos State House of Assembly has resolved to invite essential government officials to engage in fruitful discussions on the urgent enhancement of the state’s road infrastructure.
