The Sagamu-Ogijo road has come under the spotlight once again and this time, not for the good. Ogun State has one of the worst roads in Nigeria despite being the third richest state in Nigeria. From Ota to Sagamu, to Yewa to Ado-Ota among many other places in the Gateway State, its being a sorry state for the road users who ply these roads daily.

According to the images seen by AutoReportNG, the state of NNPC depot the Sagamu/Ogijo/Ikorodu road calls for urgent rehabilitation work. We gathered that reconstruction works are ongoing at Sagamu road by the Arab Contractors but it seems they have stopped working or nothing seem done. For example, we noticed some construction works right from LASPOTECH towards Odongunyan all the way to Ile-Oba at Ogijo but the contractors are not on-site, the portion already done has started giving way due to heavy vehicular activities and coupled with the rain.

In September, Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun disclosed that Lagos and Ogun State Government are planning to commercialize some federal roads in their states.

The roads according to Punch are Ikorodu-Ogijo-Sagamu, Epe-Ijebu- Ode and the Lagos-Ota-Abeokua roads.

Abiodun said Ogun and Lagos State government are planning to engage in Public-Private Partnership in the construction and rehabilitation of the three roads.

Abiodun said he had met with Sanwo-Olu and both of them have agreed to commercialise the roads by bringing in private investors to fund and toll the roads.

He said, “I met with my counterpart, Sanwo-Olu and we decided that as a matter of urgency we need to take over some roads which include; Epe-Ijebu road, Ikorodu-Sagamu road and Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta road so as to reduce the population of the people passing the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

“I and Sanwo-Olu met with the president to hand over those three roads to us, we sat down with the President and explained things to him.

“He told us to put it in writing, we wrote a joint letter which has our two logos on it, we both signed it and I personally handed it over to Mr President, and a few weeks ago, the president handed over the road to us.”

It will be recalled in 2018 that the federal government claimed to be reconstructing the Sagamu-Ogijo road and they claimed that the road has reached 70% completion. This is 2019, while we await the completion date, these are some of the photos of the axis as seen by AutoReportNG.

Very sorry my people, the federal government has failed woefully in almost all ramifications. There's little or no single federal road to boost of currently . I thought this scenarios is only comoon in the south south and South East not knowing it's equally affecting our brothers in the West. Go to Benin, delta, Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, the federal roads are death traps .
FERMA is even adding salt to the sore, the come in the name of Maintenance but ends creating more potholes.

Everywhere in this country, it seems like there's an agreement between the devil and political office holders to hinder development... Cos I just don't understand how we can still be at this level in 2019.

Even in Lagos state, almost every road is bad save for Alausa and some parts of Lagos Island... Once you leave those places everywhere else is trashy, with potholes than can swallow an elephant.

You get home and you'll start swallowing Panadol extra and Alabukun because of bad roads...
O ma se o.

Damn!! This is so screwed up!
It’s really sad to know that we have a road like this in this country!
I hope this gets to the right quarters and they better fix this!
Does anyone in the government even care about the image of this country?

We will get there...

Nigeria is a disgrace to African nations!

Ok

The best way to stop seeing gory/disturbing pictures of this country's road network is to LEAVE.

I am tired of analysing the state of this country.

Smh. Benefit of useless One Nigeria. If Mimiko had not fixed that ore road, it'll still have been the shithole it always was.

Buhari have fixed all these roads na

Something that Jonathan couldn't do in 6 years

This reminds me of the popular yoruba saying that "Ooni nale logijo"

Bad Government

na until u get to nigeria u go no say government no dey

Same with Ikorodu-Itokin-Ijebu-ode road and Ijede road.
Sanwo-Olu seems to be the most clueless Governor of Lagos state by far.

I'm sure leaving naija soon

Buh for yoruba folks, who are we leaving our lands for? You want to go and be famzing a shithole from abroad abi? We must all come together and fight it, it can get better, they are just intentionally doing rubbish because of the so called useless One Nigeria.

Let's just get the BBC, do a road documentary for us...

I think the government only responds/reacts to the BBC.....

Abeg.... Baruwa inside road na scam oo

From the pictures seen it's obvious the road was tarred before. One should ask what happened and it why deteriorated this much.

Most contractors in Nigeria who handle such projects are known to use inferior material to construct these roads. The result is what we're seeing today.

.

AutoReportNG, why are you reporting news the same way CNN, DW, BBC will report news about Africa?
You said that the FG claims the road is 70% completed but you left out information or pictures of "completed portions of the road" if any.
Did you come across any completed sections of the road? If yes, why not include the pictures so we know if the govt is truthful or lying about their 70% completion claims?

ppreye:
W

This road is still ok na

Go to Aba Na

Or Go to Portharcourt, Nkpolu Junction the federal Road you will weep and wish Buhari be evicted from Aso Rock

Please shut it with your nonsense "no be una" slogan. I'm not a political jingoist and I have no affiliation with any party whatsoever. Just think straight for once please. Not everyone is being fed by politicians.
