We did sectional overlay around university Tanke road, that one is not potholes parse but large damaged area of the road.

"We still have highlights of potholes to do in that axis which we plan to do any moment from now. "Aside these roads, we have also started cutting some areas and any moment from now we will start filling them.

"As I am speaking with you now, our people are working on the Kwara State Polytechnic road and by tomorrow, they will start filling the potholes with asphalt and we should be through in that axis soon,"he said.
