A concerned citizen, Laolu Adeyemi, has lamented the deplorable state of the Sango-Ifo stretch of the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, which has constituted a serious menace to motorists and other road users. He called on the state government to do something fast about it.
In a post on Facebook, Adeyemi berated the construction company for working at a snail pace while residents spend several hours on the road.
“This is the current state of Sango-Ifo road, even after the project has been awarded some months ago. Julius Berger, which collected the contract has been working at a snail pace and government seems not to be concerned. Many residents of that area go through hell, commuting through the road day and night.

“The road is a serious nightmare for motorists as the road became waterlogged, hence impassable after a heavy downpour. Traffic was at a standstill. The makeshift drainages were sand and dirt-filled, making it impossible to channel the rainwater away from the road.
“It is unfortunate that Governor IbikunleAmosun and his entourage went through the same road a few days ago, campaigning for the APM governorship candidate… What a Country!” he wrote.
