Apapa Oshodi takes u direct from oshodi through Isolo, Cele, Mile 2 ( by way of d overhead bridge across Lagos Badagry), Coconut, Sunshine, Ibru Jetty to Liverpool, Tin can and other areas in Apapa.

Hope u r now clear

my dear, I don't know what your argument is about. Basically both roads are federal roads, but d lagos state govt has adopted Badagry express for certain reasons and is actively working on it. So shame is on FG dt failed in first place and even after, the Apapa Oshodi is still untouched. I don't know y u have dragged Fashola's name in d mud on ds thread over FG's obvious failure and his visibly good vision and efforts.

By d way, even d names are clear enough to make u know dt dey r different roads and attempting to still link dem together because of link roads makes no sense.

[b]The bottom line is the Oshodi – Apapa road is one and the same as the Lagos to Badagry road.  Lagos being the former Capital of Nigeria and a major city in Lagos State, Badagry on the other hand is a port city on the farthest part of western  Lagos State, no expressway was ever built to link both cities,  although it was in the master plan but for some strange reasons that part of the contract never came to fruition,

The original plan of the Oshodi to Apapa road is to run from Oshodi to Badagry but the Feds did not get to do the DUALISATION from Ojo to Badagry probably because they moved to Abuja and Abuja needed to be built from scratch,  thinking of building some road in Lagos State that had her own ‘Governor’ would have being the least of the thought of IBB at the time having just escaped the Orker coup by a whisker.

The logical and rational thing for  Fashola to do having already adopted a part of the road was go the whole hog and adopt the entire road network,  the present adopted stretch is longer than the Oshodi to Apapa bit,  but the Oshodi to Apapa stretch would most likely fall into disrepair in due cause due to overloaded trailers that are coming in and out of the ports thereby putting more pressure on the road.

This road would always be a bad one because Nigeria does not follow a strict “way-bridge policy”  with regards to Trailers plying our roads.  Because of this underlying factor  I do not envisage or  see a time where and when this road would not be one wobbly mess with asphalt and tar all tidying up at one end of the road, this has always being my early recollection and  memory of this road.

Fashola should just do the honorary thing and adopt the road in its entirety and save us all this aggro.[/b]
