After months of complaints from motorist and residents, the contractor (CCECC) in charge of the Lagos Badagry express road have commence work on the road.



Residents of Lagos Badagry area have opined that the state Government have excluded them from those benefitting the basic amenities especially road being done in the state.

Coming to Badagry from Mile 2 is a nightmare for residents due to the alarming situation of the road, the future of the roads seems bright after the state Government began expansion of the road about 8years ago.

As proposed, work began and motorist and residents believed their long difficulties encountered on the road will come to an end. After few years of working, the roads construction was abandoned after some private properties have been destroyed as part of the price to pay for the development.

Some major area where the roads needs urgent attention includes, Barracks Bus top, Volks, Iyana Iba, Okoko, Isashi, Agabara, Magbon, Oko Afo. The aforementioned bustops are places where motorist encounters problem and are held up for hours, which has also reduced business in the area.

Residents have on several occasions call on Local and State Government to take urgent action on the road, on some occasions some parts are patched while others are filled with stones which keeps the road working for only sometimes.

Considering the season of hourly rain, the roads has become unmotorable, with an alarming increment in bus fee, some parts of the roads have been abandoned as one way is no more a crime along this road.

Speaking with a resident, Mr. Peter Obanuwa he said “We are no longer in Lagos map, the state government has shifted development to the highland and abandon us, I work in Ikeja and I face difficulty getting to my destination from Agbara”

He added that “ The Local government can just patch the road so that we can manage it till those rebuilding the road gets to Agbara, Help us beg Ambode to look at this side of Lagos, We have state and Federal Reps, we don’t even feel their impact”.

A motorist who pleased anonymity said, “the road is bad, especially at rush hour, though we charge high but this is because we can no longer go four trips like we used to, we hardly go two trips, we have family who rely on us, hence we need to meets family demands. The Government should help us the road is damaging our bus and we have to visit the mechanic daily”.

However, our correspondent who walked around the area discovered that contractors are back on the road and as at the time of this report, they are presently working at Okokomaiko which implies that the road construction will soon be extended to other part of Badagry.

Meanwhile, residents had planned to stage a peaceful protest on the 31st of October 2018, to pour out their grievances to the state Government and according to the memo circulated online, No vehicle will be allowed to work from Mile 2 to Badagry.

Considering the recent commencement of work on the road, it is unclear if the protest will still hold as proposed.

Almost 20 years of APC Lagos, almost 4 years of APC Federal. The excuses are OVER!!!

Is it that tinubu and his co looters don't see the lousy road or they just want to play politics with it? The rate that buffoon loot Lagos state money and invest privately is not appalling.

It is better they allow PDP to rule them and see whether there is any change than these chain party called APC.

I don't care who govern Lagos...as long as they do the needful....not apc this , pdp that...pdp can never govern Lagos. If they dont do the necessary or change their bloody mindsets.....power is never given, but taken...

If they know they are ready or any other party. They should go for it.....not ranting and wailing tinubu this and that....

Any party can win in Lagos ...if they properly do their ground work....elections are not won online....

Niggeria which day una go graduate from building roads to maintaining roads. Building roads since 0000. The worst part is that they are always building it but you will never see the roads
