THE Executive Chairman of the Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area, Comr. Akinsanya Lasisi Ayinde has embarked on drainage construction in the White Sand area of Isheri Osun; at a point connecting other communities in the council area.
Information reaching AlimoshoToday states that this construction process proffers a long-lasting solution for the White Sand road, which has been repaired numerous times but keeps collapsing because there was no drainage system. It will also prevent the area’s recurring flooding and the resulting damage to the roads.
Currently, the project is in its first phase, which entails building the drainage systems, and its second phase will consist of levelling and grading the road.
The project has the potential to benefit everyone in the area as it will reduce damages caused by flooding, and transportation-related expenditures, and aid easy movement for commuters across the area.
Meanwhile, the Chairman’s proactive approach to tackling the challenges posed by the drainage system is garnering support from the local community.
Residents and stakeholders are expressing their appreciation for the Government’s responsiveness to their concerns and the efforts being made to create a cleaner and more efficient living environment.
