There are many projects going on simultaneously across the state and the roads to be constructed will further open up these areas for economic prosperity,\u201d Akinsanya said.He urged residents to continue to pay their taxes promptly to enable the government meet up with its target to complete all ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Source disclosed that the government cancelled the first exercise because it was also careful to avoid previous\u00a0experience, where contractors were called back to\u00a0site\u00a0to put finishing works on roads even after delivery.The delay in the process was also affected by the preparation to the last   local council elections as well as the\u00a0need to painstakingly select contracting firms, who can deliver on promise.<\/p>\n<p>It was gathered that the\u00a0road construction, which\u00a0include drainages, streetlights, and walkways is expected to last for six months\u00a0and cover all the local councils and council development areas in the state.But The Guardian learnt that the governor jettisoned the previous process because acting and caretaker committee chairmen did them.<\/p>\n<p>Sources told The Guardian that the new bid, which opened last November received inputs from the newly elected local council chairmen, as it was expedient for proper coordination.But many contractors had expressed disappointments over the outcome conducted at the Ministry of the Local government, which was coordinating it with Works and the Attorney General.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/lagos-doles-out-n5-5b-to-council-roads-contractors\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode To kick-start construction activities on proposed councils\u2019 roads in the metropolis, &hellip; <a title=\"Lagos doles out N5.5b to council roads\u2019 contractors\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/lagos-doles-out-n5-5b-to-council-roads-contractors\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Lagos doles out N5.5b to council roads\u2019 contractors<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8016,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[132,2890,1399,3123,684,41,15282,15296,1262,15307],"class_list":["post-8015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-commission","tag-construction","tag-development","tag-engineering","tag-lagos","tag-property","tag-ross","tag-target","tag-taxes","tag-ulta"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ambode.jpg?fit=1280%2C710&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4975,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/lagos-state-land-registration-law\/","url_meta":{"origin":8015,"position":0},"title":"Lagos State Land Registration Law","author":"Amazing Property","date":"June 17, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 Do you know that in January 2015, the new Lagos State land registration law came into being? \u00a0Making the Registered Land Law, Registration of Titles Law, Land Instruments Registration Law and Electronic Documents Management Systems Law repealed.
