The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has given the assurance that those whose houses were demolished to pave way for road construction would be compensated.
He said he would begin the payment in the next four weeks, adding that, henceforth, all displaced persons would be relocated before construction begins.
To demonstrate that he was running people-oriented government, he assured that his government would not embark on any development without carrying the people along.
The governor said that in the face of unfavourable economic environment of the country generally, his government had been making considerable impact in the area of critical infrastructure.
“The total recurrent expenditure was N281.33billion, which is a performance of 92 per cent. Also, the total capital expenditure stood at N387.60billion or 76 per cent performance.
“With this, we initiated and delivered many high impact projects and critical infrastructure aimed at making life easier for the people. We disbursed funds to small businesses and individuals to stimulate the economy,” he said.
