Lagos — The Lagos State government's efforts to transform the state into a mega-city may suffer a hitch as weeds have overgrown strategic areas of the metropolis.

The Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola administration's determination in making the state one of the best cities in the world through the mega-city project is been threatened by the plants that has taken over some areas slated for beautification.

Though anyone arriving the state just of recent would admire the good gestures of the governor when compared to the Lagos of old in which everybody is free to litter the metropolis unchecked.

Daily Trust findings across the state witnessed the high rate of weeds taken its toll in some areas slated for beautification, a situation that has drawn the attention of passersby on how successful the project is since its commencement months ago.

The popular Oshodi rail line that served as market to many people is gradually turning to bush since the sellers had been displaced by this administration while women who sell farm products such as oranges, banana, pawpaw amongst along the rail line as well were sent packing as a result of the beautification exercise that is yet to come to reality.

Though the aspect of Oshodi area might be hidden to the governor due to its location but, Ojota-Oworonshoki interchange from the toll-gate is at the glooming sight of the governor since the state secretariat is near and regarded as normal route for passage from Alausa.

However, the astonishing things about this area is the beautification project done opposite while the offence odour that had characterized the popular waste site in Ojota had faded out since the construction of new bypass is being carried out by the state government.
