I understand for a fact that that the road proximity to water ways might be a major stumbling factor to the pace of the road construction but then 10years after the road is not even 50% complete.

No just mention this excuse in a place like Japan


If bridges are built on water 🌊💦 what is the talk about proximity

From Ambode claiming the road would be completed in 2019, to sanwooulu making another claim that it'll be completed by 2022

But then it seems these individuals are not hoping to complete that road soonest.

let me educate you and your fellow ignoramus that the construction of that road is between the tripartite of the Nigerian FG,the LASG and the government of the federal republic of benin and it is not a lagos state government affair alone...since you people have decided to carry empty skull about simply because you want to score mischievous points.you end up making yourselves sound stupid and ignorant.

When you are not informed, do not address others as ignorant and stupid. Do not choose to insult others on social media, especially when matters that trouble the nation come up and we grapple endlessly without solutions.

That road was constructed under the military government of OBJ between 1975 and 1977 and it took off from the present Iganmu bridge, terminating at the Seme border. It was a very beautiful road on the entire stretch. It did not take years to complete as we presently experience. It also was not rocket science. The Okokomaiko to Badagry round about stretch took only 30 minutes of driving to complete. That was the beauty until about 1999 and thereafter with the civilian government. In OBJ’s tenure as the President, the Sango - Idiroko was resurfaced and it was speedily done in year 2000.

The Lagos-Badagry expressway which is the Nigerian section of the Trans-West African highway, has been under this painful state for many years, with motorists, pedestrians and people living around the area languishing in daily traffic jam. The portions fixed are well unplanned with dangers everywhere for pedestrians and motorists everywhere.

Tell us how the Republic of Benin is responsible for the Nigerian section of the road, leaving their own side in their country. So you expect them to do the Nigerian part? Who has the empty skull? You or the OP? Their own part leading to Cotonou was long fixed.

Eulogizing corruption is a danger to our youths. Praising leaders when they fail in the discharge of their duties (when you stood in the sun to vote for them) is a sign of your support to continue living in misery, while they pocket the funds to send their children and families abroad to live better lives.

Have you looked at the contractual terms, particularly the delivery date for the project? Have you wondered why governments in Nigeria, state and federal failed on their own part? The idea to fix the road was by BAT while he was the governor of Lagos state. Whose fault is it that the project has taken 15 years and so far uncompleted? The OP who complained? Do you know the pain that residents along that way face daily?

That road has been completed. Wen next I ply that road I will stand and snap this exact location and post it hear. That place is trade fair under bridge, after barracks bustope. The building there in the picture is article market.

Gullible people will not verify this trash before swallowing it. The Lagos State government portion is from Orile - mile 2 - iyana oba, feds take it from there to Agbara - Badagry. The state's portion is 80% completed, even the part of the feds one lane is just like 3 km to Badagry roundabout. I know this because I live in Badagry.

CAPITALBEE:


While I agree with you on the fact that it's a collective project, I don't think you have addressed the main issue raised by the OP in anyway - which is the delayed completion of this project.

I also do not agree with the stance of the OP which made it seem like nothing has been done at all. He/she could have done a better work by reeling out the different sections of road and the progress achieved.

The road expansion project is divided into 3 phases as seen below;
+ Orile Iganmu to Mile 2
+ Mile 2 to Okokomaiko
+ Okokomaiko to Seme Border
And it's no joke, coupled with the rail extension on parts of the first two axis.

Current state of that road shows that much of the outstanding work is on the Agbara to Badagry axis which is being funded through a #16billion tax credit from the NNPC. If that section is yet to be completed, then we should be asking questions like

1. Is the delay fund related?
2. Who is in charge of making the funds available?
3. Why have the funds not been released?
4. If 3 is Yes, so what is holding back the construction?
5. Where is the part of holding the contractor accountable?
6. If 3 is No, what is LASG doing to complete this section and get reimbursed afterwards?
