Fashola inaugurates roads, car park in UNILAG
 Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, officially opened and presented management with five freshly renovated roadways and parking projects at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) on Wednesday.

The initiatives were a component of the Federal Government's FG Intervention on Internal Roads for the country's postsecondary institutions.

Alvan Ikoku, Ablaka Tafawa Balewa Road, Bunu Jike Crescent, UNILAG Shopping complex, and a parking lot are among the developments that were officially opened.

President Muhammadu Buhari, according to Fashola, is dedicated to providing high-quality facilities for all tertiary institutions in the country.

The minister said that government has repaired 83 roads at tertiary institutions throughout the country, in the person of Umar Bakare, the Federal Controller of Works for Lagos State.

According to Fashola, more than 60 roads at various Federal tertiary institutions across the nation have undergone complete rehabilitation.

Another 18 on-campus roadways, according to him, were already open, while another 19 were almost finished.

According to the minister, improving the road infrastructure within tertiary institutions is yet another deliberate move by the government to encourage education by creating a supportive atmosphere for learning.

He said, "The institutions are resources of the Federal government.

The Minister responded to the community's wishes by stating that upgrading tertiary infrastructure "is a continual process, and not going to be a one-off item."

Bakare pledged to personally visit the extra locations the management had complained about in his position as the Federal Controller of Works in order to propose an immediate intervention.

Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, Vice Chancellor of UNILAG, responded by applauding President Buhari for the effort.

According to him, the campus is now more suited for students, lecturers, other staff members, and visitors thanks to the improved roadways.

Ogunsola asked for additional improvements in other areas of the school, such as a new road to allow for the construction of land areas to supplement overcrowded and subpar facilities.

She praised the quality of the building and claimed that gullies on various lengths of roads had been a significant source of suffering before the intervention.

Without Buhari's investments in the education sector, the vice chancellor claimed, the nation's and the youths' futures would be jeopardised.

Stanley Ikechukwu, the president of UNILAG's Faculty of Social Sciences, expressed appreciation for the intervention, which in his opinion, had increased class attendance.

The Federal Ministry of Works engineers were congratulated earlier by Olukorede Keisha, the Assistant Director of Federal Highways in Lagos State and a UNILAG alumna, for maintaining the project's high standard.

She said that the endeavour would raise students' spirits and assure their dedication to academic performance.

Keisha commended the university administration and vice chancellor for their help in making the initiative a reality.
