Lagos state govt to remove three roundabouts on Lekki-Epe Expressway

The Lagos state government has announced plans to remove the 4th Roundabout (Elegushi); 5th Roundabout (Jakande) and the 8th Roundabout (VGC) as part of measures to decongest traffic in that area of the state.

Addressing a joint ministerial press briefing at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, said the affected roundabouts would be replaced by the use of traffic lights, expansion of the roads and provision of dedicated turning lanes as well as additional lay-bys.

He also announced that the state government will be deploying 13,000 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras, additional 6,000 street lights and security sensors for surveillance and crime prevention across the State from the month of October.
