Lagos-Badagry Expressway: We’re going through hell, monarch, residents, commuters lament vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
This can be attributed to the deplorable state of the road.
Motorists and commuters have frowned at both the Federal Government and Lagos State Government over their travails on the road. Lending his voice to the deplorable state of the road, the traditional ruler of Iworo kingdom in Olorunda local government of Badagry, Oba Idris Oladele Kosoko, lampooned the Federal Government’s insensitivity towards the bad state of the Badagry Expressway and the plight of users.Oba Kosoko said: “The condition of the Badagry Expressway is very disheartening. This is one important link road to other ECOWAS communities in West Africa.
He, however, appealed to the Federal Government “not to be insensitive to issues like these. They should declare a state of emergency on Badagry Express road. If the construction work is suspended, there should be palliative measures to fill the potholes and make vehicular movement easy.”Recounting the travails he goes through daily, a commercial bus driver, Peter Oluwaseun, said the roads are in a terrible state.
But the rains are here and the road has gone from bad to worse. Now, they have gone blind and insensitive so cannot see or feel the plight of motorists and commuters who are gradually dying because of this road.”For Mr Olajide Joseph, who works at Liverpool, he said: “Due to the bad road, I have to leave my house at Lusada area by 5 am daily so that I will get to the office by 8 am but because of the state of this road, I didn’t get to the office till 10:05 am.
