Residents of the Lagos State Property Development
Corporation (LSPDC) estate adjacent to the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere,
Lagos have had their houses painted by the state government, ahead of the 18th
National Sports Festival.
Information gathered reports that the Games, tagged “Eko
2012,’’ will hold from Nov. 27 to Dec. 9.
A check showed that houses on streets opposite the LSDPC estate,
such as Ogunmola, were also similarly painted. The government is also painting
and fumigating houses around the stadium and the other venues for the festival.
The venues are: the University of Lagos, Akoka; the Yaba
College of Technology and the Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka.
However, some of the residents have called on the government to ensure
effective monitoring, to prevent the contractors from doing shoddy jobs
The painting of houses
around the Games venues is part of government’s efforts to create awareness for
the fiesta and to ensure that the neighbourhoods remained clean.
