Is the airport road not for the federal government? Why is Ambode fixing it?

The fact that Ambode is reconstructing a Federal road in Lagos does not mean the responsibility for fixing all Federal roads now rest on the state govt's shoulders. If anything, we should commend the state govt and criticise the Federal govt for failing in its constitutional responsibilities. Very few state govts in Nigeria have the capacity and the capability to fix their own roads, let alone fix Federal roads.

That said, the process for fixing a Federal road by any state govt is long and wieldy. The bureaucracy is so much that the Lagos state govt had to scream and shout before the MMA road could be approved for reconstruction. It is not what can be done at the whims even when and if the state has the resources and the willingness to do it.

Hope you have been educated a little about the workings of govt.

It's wide enough, the foot path isn't narrow. The rails, no be people vandalise am?

Vandalize abi steal the rails. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

However, they should erect something like a concrete stuff if possible, no one will steal that.
