Ask anyone in Ogun State about the Lusada-Atan roads, we are sure they won't have a good story to tell. The Lusada-Atan Road has been a nightmare to all road users in this place. Despite housing mega industries, both the Federal and State Government have left the populace to suffer the plight of these bad roads. It is disappointing that even the industries on this road are helpless and can't help to reconstruct these roads either. The former Ogun State Gov., Mr Amosun made several promises to fix the road but nothing has been done so far.

According to Punch Metro, residents, commuters and motorists plying the Atan-Lusada-Agbara Road in the Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area and the Agbara-Igbesa Local Council Development Area of Ogun State have lamented the hardship they are facing as a result of the poor state of the road traversing the areas.

“Two Chinese companies are handling the project; one is handling the Lusada-Igbesa end and another is handling the Atan to Agbara end, which is a federal road. But we have said on several occasions that most of the roads that we are doing in Ogun State are federal roads and this is because most roads that link major cities in every state are federal roads.

A closer look, however, seems work has begun on the Lusada-Atan road, according to a report by one of the indigene in this area name Gbenga Oyero, according to him he wrote...

[b]On Lusada-Igbesa and Atan-Agbara roads. Ogun-Guangdong Free Trade Zone did well with the level of work done on Lusada-Igbesa road. I'm satisfied with the quality so far. Safety, commendable. Speed needs to be doubled. We need explanations about why the excavation is temporarily stopped at FTZ gate. We were told the construction would be extended to the township roads.

Palliatives on Agbara-Lusada road is commendable. At least, it reduces the usual deaths, accidents, and nightmares on the road. I had a smooth ride this Ileya.

It is time Ogun State Government connected Igbesa to Lagos from Itekun and Totowu (Camp Davies road) so as to reduce traffic and unbearable loads on the roads mostly caused by heavy trucks from hundreds of industries in the FTZ and Agbara. Not mentioning numerous socio-economic opportunities that will come with it. Igbesa to Isashi in Lagos is about 10 minutes. Igbesa to Igando in Lagos is about 20 minutes.

If this is done, the traffic (stress) on the roads will reduce heavily. The roads' lifespans increased. Expenditures on periodic maintenance reduced and the roads will be safer.[/b]

These are images from the road of the Lusada-Atan road...

Whats your take? Lusada roads need urgent and fast renovation

See more of the photos here...

https://www.autoreportng.com/2019/08/is-this-new-lusada-atan-road-as.html

It’s About time!!
Let’s just hope they don’t abandon it as they are famed for abandoning projects

AutoReportNG:
Whats your take? Lusada roads need urgent and fast renovation

So why haven't the roads been renovated all this while?

I still can't believe that Igbesa to Isashi in Lagos is about 10 minutes, or Igbesa to Igando in Lagos is about 20 minutes drive, if the roads are well constructed.

The govt should embark on a PPP partnership to construct these roads and put a toll gate on them, to enable the private companies recoup their money, like Fashola did with Lekki-Epe expressway toll gates!

Then the Ogun govt should construct well designed markets, commercial centres and massive housing estates along those roads linking up to Lagos state, and see if people would not start flocking in there to trade. There is no better way to kick start development in an area, than by opening up good roads....

I was surprised to read that too... Maybe the companies there need to follow the approach of Dangote, Flour Mills and other companies which they used to construct the Apapa-Wharf Road, they signed a MOU for tax holiday while they construct the road using their monies, imagine wasting precious time on a 10-20mins road to Lagos.

fokumed:
They will soon abandon it

we have lost complete trust in our government, Amosun abandoned all roads in second term

As small as Nigeria is compared to USA, Russia and China, majority of the roads are bad.

Abiodun abeg no disappoint oooooo

Good development.

Abeg make Ogun state fix Oke Aro - Matogun road. That area fit abort pregnant woman belle. I’ve never seen a road as bad as that area

This Governor really need to work on Roads or else we will start breaking coconut on his head

Honestly, that would be a good way to go! I keep saying that successive Ogun State governments have not taken advantage of their proximity to Lagos, to jump start development in their state.

Even the Ogun waterside is just 20 minutes by boat across the waterways to Lekki area in Lagos. Why can't the Ogun govt build a great leisure resort in that area, and run a water transportation system to Lagos, using ferries and hovercraft? They can get private investors to partner with them to do this!

Ogun state governors (present and future) have lots of work to do in that state. The poor state of roads alone are nothing to write home about. Tollgate to sango to IFO... Yuck! Those roads are HELL

Starting is not the case, but finishing.

Hope this project won't be abandoned the way the flyover in lusada was abandoned?

Amen

A project in a community that hates development.

A community where some of the Nigerian, Indian, and Chinese companies came together to repair some bad roads but were withstood.

ME: how many head dey for #1000 naira note?
PEOPLE: Na 2 heads.
ME: How many head dey for $100 dollar note?
PEOPLE: Na 1 head.
ME:How many head dey for Euro note?
PEOPLE: Euro no get head.

ME:Euro no get head but na him big pass, Meanwhile 50 naira note full himself with head,front and back like herdsmen.
Las las all these put head together na MAJOR S CAM.

Nice work. Connecting Igbesa through Itekun (Ogun State) to Isashi (Lagos State) as the thread stated is the shortest way to arrive in Lagos from Igbesa, Ogun state.

That Agbara- Atan road is a death trap despite the localization of Industries around that arena.
Kudos to the Government

Good development that road has really caused a lot of business setback
see why fleet telematics is so important to your business delivery https://explicitsuccess.com/fleet-telematics/

Ok

Governor Dapo Abiodun is really keeping to his words as regards the linking of the state to Lagos. Not only has he promised to link the Itele Road/Lafenwa to Ayobo Lagos, work has started. The road to Osi Roundabout in Otta (From Ambode Bridge) is experiencing for the first time ever, drainage channel. And just like someone has earlier mentioned, Igbesa needs to be linked to Isefun through the Camp Davids water. With all these connection in place, Badagry from Iyana Ipaja would be a stone's throw.

Most roads in Nigeria seem not be constructed to the highest standards.

Yusfunoble:
Abeg make Ogun state fix Oke Aro - Matogun road. That area fix abort pregnant woman belle. I’ve never seen a road as bad as that area

Not sure if that area will be touched in the next decade.. if every house from okearo to matogun should be levied 1k each then the communities can fix the roads themselves

Wat abt d road linking owode to illaro, sango ota to owode

They focus on areas that don't generate a dime than facing industrial area.

I don't know where you get this information from, but atan to agbara road is still as worst as it is... I ply this road twice a day

Thank God for this. That road is a disaster. Relief is finally coming through
