He listed other routes to be covered under the second phase to include General Roundabout – Oja-Oba, Offa Garage – Unity roundabout, Michael Imodu – Offa Garage, Geri Alimi – CAILS and other roundabouts within the Metropolis. Others are Emir's road – Post Office, Balogun Fulani – Gambari, Yebmot roundabout – Adeta roundabout and Abdulkadir road, Ilorin.

The commissioner further noted that well-lit streets make people feel safe and reduce risk of accidents on roads at night. He added that street lighting also boosts economic and social activities at night.
