Ex-Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, was conspicuously absent as his successor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; All Progressives Congress stalwart, Bola Tinubu; and other prominent politicians inaugurated the Agege-Pen Cinema Bridge on Friday.

Also at the event include Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat; Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa; monarchs, market leaders, and members of the Agege community.

The 1.7 kilometre-long bridge was started by the Ambode administration in 2017 but could not be completed by the administration as the former governor lost his re-election bid in 2019 due to intra-party wrangling in the APC within the state.

Ambode, though still a member of the APC as he was seen revalidating his membership of the party recently, has not been seen at any state function with Sanwo-Olu or Tinubu, his hitherto political leader, since he exited government in May 2019.

The discomfort suffered by motorists along the Agege, Abule-Egba and Iyana-Ipaja axes had moved the Ambode government to commence the project four years ago.

The overpass ascends from Oba Ogunji Road and drops at the Oke Koto axis of Agege. The bridge also opens to the old Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway through Abule Egba.

The bridge is expected to end the pain experienced by motorists plying Agege-Abule Egba and Agege-Iyana-Ipaja axes.

Don’t copy vagabonds, destruction won’t help you —Tinubu

Speaking at the event, Tinubu urged youths not to copy “vagabonds”, saying destruction won’t help them reach their destinations.

Interesting... watched the video to the end. Really think the roads are good.... both highways and local. Very little silt build up at the sides of the highways... guess they do sweep to keep it in check. Saw silt almost take up a lane on other highways... so indeed... the roads are pretty good and I'll say maintained. What struck me most?.... first the trees on the islands at the beginning of the video... why are we soooo foreign minded?... why must the trees be pine trees?... or a crude attempt to shape some kind tree like pine trees? Why couldn't they be trees natural to our environment?... like those used along the highway later in the video? Moving on. I've noticed the almost lack of signs on the highway... and the few were very small... not easily read during daylight let alone at night. So if I were to make the same trip.... how would I know when and where to branch off?.. how did you know on your first trip? On highway speed limit... again... saw no posted signs... is there a limit? Those ehmmm.... Kilimanjaro walkways.... it must be for the fit only..... no doubt.... elderly, fat and handicap discrimination. Just curious... heard the tick ticking of the car signal while overtaking.... is it you put on hazard lights? ....what's that about?
Enjoyed the video.... keep posting bro.

Thanks Bro!!!

I took a drive from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the outskirts of Abuja to Abuja city proper and it took me a little over 30 minutes.

The road is one of the best in the country and I don't think there's any other road outside Abuja that can beat it.

I will take you through the drive.

The Agege-Pen Cinema bridge that was started by the former Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode and completed by the present Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu is ready and will be commissioned any moment from now.

I visited the bridge to assess things for my self and to show you what the bridge looks like.

I actually paid a visit to the Eastern Palm University about 2 years ago when it was just newly built and I captured the school on video.

I went there about a year later and i could see that it was already depreciating. I wonder how it is now.

Some of the roads around that axis are one-way, a first timer needs to be careful and observant of the road signs.

True.
