Adesola Adedayo, a member representing Apapa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, says the federal government will soon commence reconstruction and rehabilitation of two roads in the constituency.

Mr Adedayo disclosed this on Saturday at a meeting with All Progressives Congress stakeholders and members of his constituency at the Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area secretariat.

He said the federal government had concluded plans to begin reconstructing Zion Street in Apapa Ward F to provide easier access to the Primary Health Centre recently renovated in the area.

According to him, the Zion Street reconstruction project is captured in the 2025 budget, while the rehabilitation of Amusu and Akosile streets in Apapa Ward H and parts of Ward F is captured in the 2026 budget.

Mr Adedayo said the projects aimed to address some of the infrastructure challenges confronting residents and improve mobility within the constituency.

“Zion Street is particularly important because the road provides access to the Primary Health Centre, which we recently renovated for the benefit of our people. We are working to ensure that the road is reconstructed so that residents can have easier access to the health facility and other parts of the community,” he said.

The lawmaker urged residents and community stakeholders to take ownership of the projects when construction begins by cooperating with the contractors. He said such cooperation would help ensure timely, hitch-free completion of the projects.

He said rehabilitating Amusu and Akosile streets would also improve connectivity and movement within the affected areas.

Mr Adedayo also called on stakeholders and residents to protect public infrastructure provided through government interventions and ensure that the facilities were properly maintained.

He said effective representation involves not only legislation but also facilitating projects and programmes that address constituents’ needs.
