Orile Agege residents demand temporary bridge ahead of canal completion

The Chairman of Orile Agege Local Council Development Area in Lagos State, Johnson Babatunde, and residents of the area have asked the state government to provide a temporary bridge ahead of the canal completion in the LCDA.

Pupils of the community and other schools in the area manage to pass through the canal which has claimed lives.

A resident, Lekan Jimoh said a carpenter, Biodun Yawona, was able to build a temporary bridge that the students walked on to their school, but it has now been washed off by flood, making it difficult and risky for anyone to access the other side.
