The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, says ongoing investments in infrastructure development are the key needed for unlocking of the economy, for speedy development.

Dangote-Apapa-Fashola

Fashola spoke on Thursday during an inspection of the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki reconstruction project.

He was however silent on the completion date on the all-important road project.

The minister was accompanied on the inspection by the Special Adviser to Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Works and Infrastructure, Mrs Aramide Adeyoye, and her team.

The minister said the Buhari administration had achieved advancement of the economy through infrastructure development, citing creation of employment and market for small and medium enterprises at construction sites.

“Infrastructure is the key that unleashes trade and productivity. And without Infrastructure, you can’t drive trade and commerce, so let’s be clear about that. “The Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki Expressway is a major infrastructure asset for import and export business because it connects to the largest and busiest sea ports in the country,” he said.

He recalled how inaccessible the axis was in 2015 before the award of the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki Expressway project nearing completion, which had changed the narrative.

Fashola said although there was better driving experience because of the reconstruction, people from various parts of the country had introduced lawlessness and disorder which must be cleaned up.

He vowed to restore sanity, law and order on highways, no matter whose ox is gored.

The minister said this was to stop abuse and damage to roads, bridges and other infrastructure in the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki project axis and other Lagos State highways.

He also expressed anger at the activities of mechanics, panel beaters and other auto technicians at the Toyota bus stop via Oshodi, as well as the degradation of Liverpool end of Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki Expressway project alignment.

Fashola said the government would not be deterred by cheap blackmail, be it ethnic or religious.

The minister, who inspected beautification projects on all sections of the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki project, said the park at Liverpool was aimed at restoration of the old recreational lifestyle in Apapa.

While inspecting new concrete key clamps built for fish traders under the bridge at Liverpool Waterside, Fashola warned the traders to avoid any activity that would degrade the redeveloped area or cause fire to the bridge.

Fashola, who spoke in Yoruba, urged the traders to collaborate with their market leader and Ministry of Works’ officials towards getting allocations of the new concrete stalls.

He asked the traders to vote massively for the ruling APC while explaining the infrastructure drive of the Buhari administration to them.

Earlier, the Director, Federal Highways, South West, Mr Adedamola Kuti and the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Mr Umar Bakare, explained level of completion on various sections of the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki project to the minister.

They said that the project, which begins from the Old Toll Gate and terminates in Apapa, would be completed between January and February 2023.

The Special Adviser to Gov. Fashola on Works and Infrastructure, Mrs Aramide Adeyoye, discussed how the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki Expressway project affected the Lagos-Badagry Expressway project intersection under construction.

Adeyoye and Fashola’s team agreed on construction schedule at Second Rainbow Bus Stop area where the Alaba Interchange Bridge linking the Lagos-Badagry Expressway was landing on the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki Expressway project.

The Federal and Lagos State delegation also carried out assessments and reached agreements on parks and gardens which were incorporated into the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki project by the Dangote Group, contractors on the project.

The Alaba Interchange Bridge project is part of Section One of the ongoing Lagos-Badagry Expressway reconstruction project being handled by the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) and supervised by the Lagos State Government.

The one-kilometre Alaba Interchange Bridge when completed will take traffic from Lagos-Badagry Expressway along Akinwande Road across Apapa-Oshodi Expressway to Second Rainbow Bus stop section of the ongoing Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworonshoki Expressway project.

Earlier, Mr Edwin Devakumar of Dangote Group, contractors on the project, also gave a brief of the beautification, landscaping and other components of the project to Fashola.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
