For decades, the stretch of road connecting Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos to Oshodi was a national disgrace.

The road, which is a gateway into the country, offered first time visitors a very uncomplimentary first impression of Nigeria.

From one administration to the other, the road remained in an atrocious condition – one that required urgent attention in order to salvage the nation’s image.

Sadly, the resuscitation of the road, which falls within the purview of the federal government, was completely ignored.

However, in May 2017, and with facilitation by Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, the federal government finally gave the approval for the Lagos State government to commence a total reconstruction of the road.

In the spirit of the regeneration and urbanization of Lagos state by the Ambode-led administration, work begun on the project in September 2017.

The project will see the transformation of the road from 4 lanes to 10 lanes from Oshodi to the International Airport. It would also feature an interchange and flyover that would drop commuters to the Local Airport.

Work is ongoing on the road.

The work is being handled by the construction firm of Hitech Construction Company Limited.

kudos to present administration for implementation of capital budget

The country called lagos

How do people even enjoy driving in that Lagos?
Driving in Lagos is only enjoyable on Sundays.
Every other day, it is a gadamn chore.

After all that stress, plus energy burnt at respective offices, Lagosians still find energy to cook, have sex, socialise and engage in other activities. Really strong people.

Anyway, better late than never. Kudos to the government.

My friend would always say I've not been to Lagos yet. Cos it was from the Airport, straight to the hotel in Ikoyi. On our way back, same thing. Both days were on a Sunday. Left me wondering why the roads were so free and without the usual hustle and bustle the town is famous for.

I sha told him if I can help it, na only Sundays I go dey come and go. I no get energy for that kind life biko

Really stressful place. If you can avoid the stress, please do.

I am not surprised your friend says you haven't been to Lagos yet.
#ThisIsNigeria, the country where people brag with suffering and poverty. Lil wonder all our celebrities always cook up a grass to grace story.

Tell your friend you trekked from Ikotun to Isolo and he will ask you if that one is trekking? That he trekked all the way to Ogun state on empty stomach. He'll say it with so much pride and sense of accomplishment. Chai! We dey suffer for this country

By the way, your kids are adorable.

Are we suppose to be talking of road construction in 21st century when other African countries have outgrown it and are discussing on how to improve their economy.
