AutoReportNG:
It is no longer news that the days of Gov Akinwunmi Ambode as the executive governor of Lagos state are numbered. Having lost out at the primaries, he has resorted to fate to end his tenure 29th May 2019.

This is one government that has come under heavy criticisms both from Nigerians and even his party for neglecting some basic works like environment, roads etc. While we respect these submissions and we accept the general outcry that Lagos is truly dirty. Away from that, it will be wicked to throw the bath water with the baby.

AutoReportNG decided to take a look at the top 3 roads Gov. Ambode was able to transform from being a traffic prone-road into a flawless and traffic-free road. Please note that this is not a sponsored post, we just felt it is our obligation to report facts from figures.

1. Iyana Oworo by Third Mainland Bridge

One of the traffic-prone axis in Lagos is Iyana Oworo Bus-Stop. This is one of the many roads that give drivers headache, it was so bad that the former Lagos state governor tried to curb this menace by eradicating all the Danfos but the more he tried, the stronger they returned. For those who are used to this road, the danfos used to drop the passengers on the road and this used to block the flow of traffic that it stretched all through to the already blocked Third Mainland Bridge. When Gov. Ambode came into power, he was able to access the bridge and study the terrain and his team introduces segregated Bus Park and the lay-bays first at Iyana-Oworo.

The lay-bys at Iyana Oworo which greatly reduced traffic faced by motorists descending the ever busy Third Mainland Bridge seems to be the magic the road yarns for.

2. The Lekki Bottle Necks

For those whose routes are Lekki, Ikate, VGC, Ajah, you will attest to the fact that the bottlenecks at Lekki roundabout, Ikate, Lamgbasa are nothing but senseless, meaningless and serve no purpose. Due to these bottlenecks around this route, traffic used to stretch right from House on the Rock Bus Stop at Ikate all through Lekki Round-About. The government decides to remove the bottlenecks at Jakande and Chisco roundabouts in Ikate Elegushi axis of the state as part of effort to reduce travel time on the Lekki – Epe expressway. Just like the Midas touch, after the removal, the traffic at this axis has reduced drastically. According to reports, six roundabouts were removed including Ikate, Chisco, Jakande, Igbo Efon, Chevron and Victoria Garden City (VGC) and these make the road free from traffic.

The road now has been fixed with traffic lights which aid in traffic movement.

3. The Building of Ojodu-Berger Laybys And Slip Road

[img]https://4.bp..com/-cj7U7X9yKr8/W8p2GEj3EHI/AAAAAAAAVPA/gqUlIpI5u0UKAfEVI1yYn4NmXOcLgULVwCLcBGAs/s1600/Lagos_Berger_002_AutoReportNG.com.jpg[/img]

Ojodu-Berger is the gateway road for those arriving Lagos, after leaving the OPIC plaza, your next point of call is Ojodu Berger, buses from different states use this spot to drop their passengers who may want to board buses which are closer to their various locations. The problem with this axis is that people tend to cross the road to the other side which has caused deaths, traffic and also untoil sufferings for those coming into Lagos and those going outside the state.

At the inception of this administration in May 2015, the traffic situation at the Ojodu Berger axis was one of the challenges that were identified as one requiring urgent attention. With the construction of the Pedestrian Bridges, Laybys And Slip on this road, traffic has reduced drastically to a minimum rate.

Wow. This is exactly correct.
And you no the worst part....
1. Every corps member that just passed out of NYSC is relocating straight to Lagos.
2. Every barga wants to drive a car even though solid transportation is available like BRT and water ways ferry (You know the area Im refering to).

3. And finally, For every Igbo that moves to lagos he/she will bring 10 more from his village. And guess what they have no idea what to do in lagos. They are just hoping to be mysteriously blessed by Lagos. If you dont believ me about the igbo migration thing wait till December and see the freedom of moving around in Lagos

Lagos is not the only place in Nigeria where people make it in life.

Fashola started Abule Egba road..and it was about 50% completion as at handing over

Makamuanwuo:
Sorry who is Ambode

so out of how many roads in Lagos we are supposed to be celebrating 3. Oga pls stop this. Pls. We are d ones suffering from the governor's incompetence. Rather than trying to justify nonsense or giving excuses or blaming imaginary enemies; let him do the needful. We are not so hard to please. Nigerians will hail him tomorrow if he manages to work on major roads. Isolo. Iyana Ipaja. Badagry. Egbeda.Festac. Pls. Stop looking for excuses. Pls just stop

AmazingELixir:




Which master plan... have you ever sighted the so called master plan...?

Lagos state has a masterplan, 100% ........ Is it been followed or fair ?

Iyana lay by was possible because of Fashola as Minister of Works, the then Federal Government prevented it happening then.

Ambode failed to maintain Ikorodu road claiming it was a federal road, but work on Abeokuta Express (Abule Egba). Mile 12 to Ojota filled with potholes and without working street lights at night. While the he was busy constructing bus stops. He is too greedy not ready to complete ongoing projects he met. Thank God he is going

Lexusgs430:

Every city has a master plan....what is taking place in Lagos state doesn't come close to that plan....BRT on ikorodu road was Fashola's creation and Ambode is in the process of creating his own BRT plan along Lagos Abeokuta road.

The only project that falls in line with the original plan is the rail network started by Jakande which is in its in comatose

ednut1:
Number 2 is false. Solved nothing . Still takes 2 hours or more from ajah to VI in the mornings. Rubbish

My friend keep quiet!! Its people like you that drive with impatience and recklessness on that road. If we all follow the lane markings and maintain the number of lanes it's designed for and in order, the traffic will flow. But NO, people keep switching lanes with slightest provocation. That's the main cause of the traffic. Try driving through the alternative route via chevron. The traffic flows because MAD people don't follow that route as there is no room for one-way and recklessness driving. Have a good day.

If u want be remembered in Lagos you won't spend billions as a governor.

Just fix traffic
Fix bad roads
Handle waste

Then the people will ask you to come for third term

You asked if Lagos state had a masterplan ? I stated yes ........

It looks like you are now contradicting yourself or arguing with yourself...........

Pele... Who are you? At least we still know who Ambo is... We don't know your existence and generation ever exist. Get sense.

dasauce:

You lied... Abule Egba was hell for traffic before Ambode transformed. I used to drive in that area almost daily during Fashola era and I went through hell then. Also I stay close to the area and I know what I'm saying. Pls say what you know and also give credit to who its due. Yes fashola worked too, such a great man. But you also have to give Ambode that credit.

Perhaps you misconstrue the original import of my question, the emphases are on the projects listed on this thread...if you're quick to state that the bus stops currently being constructed by Ambode are not in line with your so-called master plan....the 3 projects captured are they part of any grand master plan....?
