True to his words of unlikelihood to rest on his oars, the Executive Chairman of Isolo LCDA, Olasoju Adebayo, on Wednesday took a major step in his promise of reconstructing the dilapidated Emzor Way, Off Oshodi-Apapa Express Way. 
Hon Olasoju dropped the hint about the imminent commencement of the reconstruction project,when he hosted top management staff members of corporate organizations situated on the corridor in his palatial office.
In his remarks, the Council boss sought the cooperation of organizations on the said axis stressing that for a seamless and expedited construction, all hands must be on the deck.
On the expected standard of the road construction, Olasoju impressed it on his guests that the ever-busy road will be built using HPV paving stones to stand the test of time given the fact that the Okota/Apple Junction road has not worn out despite the volume of trailers and articulated vehicles that ply the road on a daily basis. Olasoju added that solid culverts will be erected at their entrances for the benefit of the companies.
“Today’s meeting is not only to put you in the know of the imminent development but to also seek your cooperation throughout the project. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to complement the efforts of our indefatigable state governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu by embarking on such a magnitude of project.
“The mantra upon which our administration is operating is #TowardsTheIsoloOfOurDreams and part of this dream is to ensure that our roads are in perfect condition for the pleasure of commuters and business owners hence our resolve to undertake the massive project.
“Yes, it’s a ‘Trunk B’ road but we are taking it upon ourselves to fix it owing to its importance to the day-to-day socio-economic activities in our community,” Olasoju said.
Corroborating the council chairman on the expected job quality, the Council Engineer, Engr. Gbolamiga Dawodu assured that the road will be done to meet the state standard and in strict compliance with global construction standards as he assured that the 6-month completion date set for the project will be adhered to. Gbolamiga noted that the council has approached the state ministries of works and their environment counterpart to allow an expansion of the channel at the T-junction on Osolo Way for a more efficient flow of drains.
“The project will be done to meet state and federal standards. We’ve also mapped out strategies to ensure that we don’t completely close the road while the construction is ongoing to ensure that it won’t completely affect your business,” he said.
On their part, the representatives of the ten companies in attendance which included Emzor Pharmaceutical, Starlink Global and Ideal Limited, Vista International, A-SOT, Recare Limited, CWAY Nig. Ltd, Chellarams PLC, Eunisell, Ethylene Company, and Arcee Textiles expressed their willingness to cooperate throughout the construction period as they thumbed up the council boss for taking the bold step. Meanwhile, the council boss, at the request of his guests, directed his chief of staff, Hon. Musbau Quadri to create a WhatsApp platform for communication purposes as he assured that enough men would be on ground to supervise the project daily.
Before curtains were drawn on the meeting with a closing prayer from Mr. Hassan Nurain; the representative of Starlink Global & Ideal Ltd, the Council Manager, Mrs Mojisola Ogabi thanked the attendees for making time as she appreciated them for their anticipated cooperation.
Also in attendance at the historical meeting were the supervisor for works and infrastructure, Hon. Jamiu Omotayo, Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC); Hon. Adesegun Olatunde among others
He highlighted key achievements, including over 60 reconstructed roads, youth empowerment initiatives, market remodeling projects, and educational improvements.
