The Lagos State Government has explained that its infrastructural provision efforts are being constrained by some factors beyond its control, including paucity of funds, difficult topography and poor attitude by residents. The Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, said during his ministry’s yearly press briefing in Alausa, Ikeja on Wednesday that more could have been done if the state had access to more funds, noting that the many projects were competing for the available resources. According to him, the state’s topography poses major challenges to infrastructure development, especially as it concerns roads construction, adding that the government was constantly conducting soil tests with the result that many road projects were often subject of massive soil replacement, a situation that had enormous cost implications.
