From Apple junction to Last bus stop to Ago palace. The road is nothing to write home about. Reasons being the fact that not just okota alone but Amuwo Odofin LGA as a whole, belongs to PDP. It isn't a good phenomenom that the state government carries out projects in areas where their party is recognised. I believe Ambode this time won't be sentimental. Major roads should be done despite the party dominant in the area. Ambode don't let them down, Lagos is counting on you


#@MINET16

I disagree with you. Did you know why the road wasn't completed by Fashola's Administration?
I will dig up a thread where this particular road was discussed last year while some residents lamented lack of co-operation and landlord's litigation against LASG stopped the completion of the road from Apple Junction to last bus-stop.

am typing this from my Okota home...my area is neglected real bad. The picture seen above is for the main roads...you need to check out the streets. The Ago palace way project is still going on even tho its awarded 10 years ago. Its a shame on Lagos state government. Businesses are booming and there are industries,the only thing LASG do is collect tax and neglect us here.

The road is under construction and I believe that's why is not listed on. The state of the road is far better compare to how it's before. What dey did is to work on one side of the road, from roundabout left side to century and work is going on then. The most worst area there is last bus stop, amonota, ap and to join where it stop around cele before going to apple junction. (That guy on last pics putting on blue dashiky is a guy working with my little brother)
The construction is damn too slow. Main road these bad means streets are terrible. Most street here means ratholes.smh

These pictures were taken today 28th of June 2015 at 7am.

These pictures depict the deplorable state of Okota road. What is even most disturbing is the fact that this road is not listed as part of the roads earmarked to be fixed by the LASG.

5 bottles of ORIGIN for you my blooda!!!!. Come to think of the fact that i stay right in the barracks and have been yarning for the development of that road for ages. The one leading to AGO palace way was just partially done with Inter-locks. Saw a post on roads to be rehabilitated yesterday by the lagos state govt, but didn't see that of OKOTA, so i thought they had included it with IKOTUN.
We feel thesame pain on the delapitated state of the road. More grease to your elbow for this post once more!!!

The notion is that if it is not Lekki, Ikeja or Ikoyi, then the road is not important. This road demand urgent attention due to its importance.

Re: Deplorable State Of Okota Road (PHOTOS) by mapet: 8:19am On Jun 29, 2015
Bros,

You will do well to stop reporting falsehood as facts.

1. That fact is that work commenced on that road 3years ago.
2. To make to the planned expansion of the road, properties that did not conform to the natural set-back laws was marked for demolishing.
3. The owners of those residents took the Lagos State government to court and got an injunction stopping it.
4. Fashola put a stop on the project, pending the completion of the court case
5. Some other resident paid Fashola visit to appeal to him to complete the road. He told them he's hands-tied as the injunction must either be lifted or the withdraw the court case and negotiate
6. These Landlords refused, hence the stalemate before elections

Government unfortunately does not work that way - those for and against us - when executing projects. Passing out this sort of information is dangerous and does not much good to the general public. I am aware for example, that a few roads which were to be expanded around the Okota axis ran into challenges when property owners and the indigenes in these areas took the LASG to court. Work had to be stopped before proceeding with the project. This particular road is an extension of that project.

Now, I am aware that there was a resolution of the matter and works commenced on the road late 2013 or early 2014, however with the shrink in FAC to states, this will have affected the completion of the project, leading to failed infrastructure as we currently see it. In the case you reside in this area, I advise you do a letter to your State Representative at the LAHA while copying your LGA Chairman and Councillor to take up the matter on your behalf - this is what citizenship is all about as opposed to passing information that isn't factual.

Read and comprehend well before rushing to comment. The road in question is OKOTA ROAD and not Ago Palace rd.This hell of a road leads from Cele bus stop to Oke-afa junction. Very bad indeed!
