LAGOS — Somolu Local Government has completed the interlocking of t-Shape Duru Close in Zone 1, Ward E, as part of its ongoing road network development programme aimed at improving local infrastructure.
Chairman AbdulHamed Ashimi said the project forms part of the council’s urban renewal efforts since the current administration assumed office in July 2025. The newly delivered road, previously characterised by potholes and poor accessibility, has now been upgraded with interlocking paving, improving mobility within the neighbourhood and adjoining streets such as Ogunbadejo.
