Sir: We respectfully request the use of your esteemed and widely read newspaper to draw the attention of the Governor of Lagos State, relevant ministries, and agencies—particularly the Lagos State Public Works Corporation—to the urgent need for intervention on Anjorin Street and its adjoining roads.
Anjorin Street, situated within the Itire-Ikate Local Council Development Area (LCDA), is a critical thoroughfare that connects Lawanson with several economically active areas in Surulere. Regrettably, this road has been in a state of disrepair for an extended period.

The deplorable condition of Anjorin Street poses serious challenges to residents, commuters, and local businesses. The road is riddled with deep potholes, which become severely waterlogged during the rainy season, rendering it not only impassable but also dangerous to both pedestrians and motorists.
Despite multiple written appeals to the appropriate authorities over the years, we have yet to receive any meaningful response or action. We therefore use this medium to renew our call for immediate government intervention to rehabilitate these roads before the situation deteriorates further with the onset of the rains.
