people should comment with knowledge,the road doesnt belong to the state government but the federal government.the state government is doing it because of its state of disrepair and the federal government is deliberately taking steps to frustrate the work

is now you all know its a federal government road, when you and your people came here in the first place shouting and bragging that fashola will build 10 lane badagry express road it was like fashola is that serious now that all his plans has failed him, you all come here to give a idiotic excuse. When he know he can't do anything in the first place why did he start it. After he has use the road to collect rank both on nairaland and the tv station, truly eko is working as they always say. Arrant nonsense.

idnoble135: where are those Fashola gangsters and bullies? They better come and explain oh!

Nuisance...
Dat a federal road.. Nt fashola bizness

It link nigeria with benin
Wwat is team-lagos bizness wif dat

Richbee: The extent of disgust to the lagos badagry express way is unspeakable. Ever since I've known that road it hasn't for once been without traffic. The level of damage this year around is just... Damn!!!. A journey that should be about 30 minutes takes close to 3 to 4 hours all because of the little pot holes here and there. This road isn't just a local one, its an international one cos its the major route to some neighbouring countries. You can't blame residents for staying here cos the majority of them are landlords. They own their houses. I'd love for the government to really do something about it and to do it fast as residents walk on foot almost everyday. They suffer on their way to work, suffer to get income for a living, suffer same ordeal back home. Then tell me how the lifespan of such wouldn't be cut short. If we have a government I do imploy them to act fast. The government of lagos state was said to start the repairs and recreation for over 4 years now and still @ dis time no change has been done. I don't even know who to blame, the government or the contractors.

Nigerians are fast learning that corruption, nepotism and get rich quick syndrom will not lead us anywhere. The people need to put good leaders that will compete to development their interests and let everything boil down to what were your achievements when you were in power than what ill-gotten wealth have you amassed. Those who amassed them in the past where are thy today? Either dead or are in self imposed house arrest what a shame.

Delafruita:
first,the road is not a state road.it is a federal road.the lagos state government should be applauded for even making efforts to take over the road.

it was initially agreed between the yar'adua and fashola administrations that the road will be a joint project between the federal and state governments.however,the federal government reneged on the agreement.the lagos state government went ahead to start making preparation to do the road and were taken to court by the federal government who insisted work shouldnt be done on their road.the issue was eventually resolved and lagos state govt applied to the world bank for a loan which was to be disbursed in 3 tranches with the federal government standing as the guarantor.the first tranche was disbursed and work began.when the second tranche was to be disbursed,the government withdrew from standing as guarantor stating that states were now barred from receiving foreign loans,funds were no longer available to speed up work and the work schedule had to be re-arranged while the government sought other sources of funding for the road.that also informed the reason for CCECC been asked to go beyond just the rails into the road as against julius berger which was more expensive.

i live in ijanikin and know the horror of that road.and for a while my routes have been structured to avoid it in favour of the lasu-isheri expressway.but i think if we're to pile pressure on anyone,it should be the federal government whose duty it was in the first place to do the road

Mr brother, ur post vividly captures what I also heard about d road. D annoying thing is dat our FG prefers 2 waste public funds on a 550km Kano-Maiduguri expressway dat has maybe less dan 100 vehicles passing tru it daily. Dis is a road I'm sure should not be more dan 50km even up 2 Badagry. A few months ago, Fashola was at d House of reps, pleading wit members 2 intervene in d world bank loan issue. I just wonder d impression citizens of Ghana & other neighbouring countries, who come in2 d country thru d road av about our govt.

true.madam iweala was going up and down at time saying it was in the best interest of the economy for states to stop taking foreign loans.fashola made the journey to abuja to try to appease the presidency.he addressed the NASS on the matter and some people who get their news only from the threads of nairaland are saying jargons.

according to the timeline,the blue rail line from mile-2 to marina was supposed to start work in june while the first phase of the 10-lane expressway was to be completed from orile to okokomaiko in december 2013.its rather unfortunate that the FG decided to play politics with that road just as they play politics with every other road project fashola embarks upon.even the ikorodu-mile12 road that is been dualised wasnt without FERMA drama.even this badagry expressway has FERMA drama.a few months ago,FERMA started to oatch the holes from okokomaiko to badagry roundabout.one only wonders why FERMA didnt take the step of also patching the portions at volks,barracks and further down from badagry to seme.the worst parts of the road was left untouched by FERMA and some people are seeking fashola's head on a pike.the intention was good but the FG is frustrating the efforts which has led fashola to adjust the timeline.now he intends to finish the expressway to okomaiko by 2015 and expects the next governor to take-over from there on to badagry.they are currently depending on IGR to do that and that probably means funding for other lesser priority projects have to be diverted.thats why there's more tolling on roads.it is my hope and desire that fashola accomplishes that.but it will be better if the FG can go back to the agreement and stand as guarantor for the second and third tranches of the loan

I spent almost 4hrs on that road today from iyana oba to mile 2.CCECC is a confused construction company we're really suffering it.Gosh!

I beg make una rescue me o fellow Nigerians. All my properties are located in the area.

Ago palace way is Fed road as well. I heard you can catch fish on the road now. Is GEJ turning lagos roads to fish pond for his retirement past time as a former fisher man?

redcliff:

[size=14pt]Did you say little port holes here and there? that place is a Valley/ excavation site.

Its Implore bro[/size]

Loool It's 'pot' not 'port' Saka's porting virus don affect u

Reptyle:

Yeah you are right. I also heard that Tinubu is a reincarnation of a first generation Chinese shaolin monk called Tae Noon Bu.

God this joke is damn funny. However, this CCECC guys are really so slow. The repaired Amuwo Odofin (festac link road) for 2 years. They are currently working in Ago Palace and they are yet to complete half the road in 1 year. Probably they would finish in 3 years. I think the badagry road will take 15 years to complete and then half the road would require another repair.

doncaster: Ago palace way is Fed road as well. I heard you can catch fish on the road now. Is GEJ turning lagos roads to fish pond for his retirement past time as a former fisher man?

I swear you can catch any kind of fish on that road. It is now a lake

UNFORTUNATELY I LIVE ON AGO PALACE WAY AND I SWIM THAT LAKE WITH MY CAR EVERYDAY ON .. GOING THROUGH THE CELE ROUTE IS JUST SUICIDAL ... ITS NOT A FEDERAL ROAD ITS STATE OWNED ..

i went to egbeda last weekend and the traffic is terrible. When you compare it to mile 12 to okoko axis, its a no go area.

Fashola should stop wasting public funds celebrating every 100 days in office for nothing, the guy should just get down to work in these areas fast & stop deceiving himself, his godfather & their yeye acn

talk2s:
I truly sympathise with both the occupants of that area and the users of that road. But at the same time, let me be very blunt while expecting attacks and criticisms:
It's a Federal Road.
And so?
Lagos is the richest State in the Federation!
Let the Lagos State Govt construct and get the refunds from the Federal Govt.
That is what the Federal Govt has since agreed with State Govts.
It is easier and faster that way.
All what the State Govt needs to do is to apply to the Fed.Govt. though the Ministry of Works stating the need to constuct the road, her resolve to so do and the cost implication. After some assessments, approvals are granted.
That is what Obong Godswill Akpabio, whom most of U have refused to acknowledge that he's the most performing Governor in Nigeria does.
So far he's constructed 3 : Itam- Calabar\Itu; Abak-Essien Udim and Aka -Nung Udoe Roads and has gotten refunds for them. He's on the 4th one now: Dualization of Uyo\Ikot Ekpene- Aba Road.
Fashola should follow suit. He is equall ro the task.

where are you when fashola said it has spent billions on federal roads and the money has not been refunded.

did you also know that the project was guarantee by the FG which later withdraw its support because its not a pdp state.

lets be sincere if we want to be sincere or keep your peace.

didn't you hear during election when fashola was shouting lack of federal support for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of federal roads in lagos.

is it until fashola dies shouting before you begin to ask pdp led federal government why it has abandoned the south west.

Stop asking fashola to fix federal roads,

Ask bode George, agbaje, obanikoro and the lagos pdp people why pdp abandoned lagos

Arrant nonsense.

Nobody has made these claims.

we all know its a joint project between lagos/federal govt and world bank.

the federal govrment is to guarantee the world bank finances

the federal government has decided lagos is not a pdp state as such it can go to hell.

blame politics
