Today, Governor of Lagos State, Mr @jidesanwoolu commissioned about 20km network of roads constructed by the Lagos State Government in Badagry Local Government Area

The roads projects are:

Aradagun/Mosafejo road

Ilado/Imeke road

Samuel Ekundayo/Toga road

Hospital road

Today, we commissioned seven completed road projects across more than eight communities in Badagry Local Government and Olorunda LCDA.

These roads, spanning over 16 km, are lifelines that connect residents to markets, schools, health centres, and cultural heritage sites.

One standout project is the Samuel Ekundayo-Toga Road, which we have expanded from a single lane to a dual carriageway with proper drainage. It now provides easier access to the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and helps ease congestion around Limca, Ibereko, and the Badagry Roundabout.

We also upgraded Hospital Road, improving access to major landmarks such as the Agbalata Market, Nigeria’s First Storey Building, the Heritage Museum, and other historic sites that define Badagry’s rich legacy.

Badagry holds deep economic and cultural significance not just for Lagos, but for Nigeria. As a gateway to five West African countries, it has the potential to become a major hub for tourism and cross-border trade.

Our goal is simple: no part of Lagos should feel left behind. We are pushing development deeper into our communities and not just the city centres.

I understand that some areas, including Oko Afo, Ilogbo, Eremi, and Pota, are still waiting. Work is ongoing, and I appreciate the patience of the residents. We are committed to seeing it through.

Good infrastructure goes beyond roads and bridges. It creates access, opens up opportunity, and gives communities a stronger foundation to grow.

Badagry, this is just the beginning.

I went to Port Harcourt and saw the huge difference between purposeful leadership and the disaster that has been going on in Lagos since Ambode was booted out.

For a state that generates about 20billion monthly as IGR with huge allocation from FAAC, Lagos should be a construction site.

But what do you have?

Estates and communities are the ones who now contribute to build their roads.

Go to Awoyaya axis of Ibeju Lekki. In fact, the entire Ibeju Lekki and even Ajah and Sangotedo, zero internal road network.

But come to Port Harcourt, almost all internal roads are tarred. City is serene and neat.

Unfortunately, fools keep defending the ineptitude in Lagos leadership. Either due to ignorance or self sabotage.

SmartPolician:
Nigerian government needs to upgrade our border communities to give them a decent look.

If you travel from Ghana to Nigeria by road, the moment you arrive at the immigration office in Nigeria, you know that you are in a big country.

Badagry should get more attention than it already does because that place looks like an abandoned community. First impression matters.

All roads constructed in areas I usually routine are doing well. The one at Apapa, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos Island and Surulere axis.. very good and durable.

Oga! I'm reside in Lagos and I can tell 100% that road constructed in Badagry dwarfs all those yeye internal road in Port-harcourt. Please don't ever compare Port-harcourt to Lagos. The economic margin is wide. River state should only compare herself with Imo, Delta state. They have similar economic outputs.

Mccullum:
As if I have not been in Port Harcourt. On infrastructure, Lagos State is ahead of Port Harcourt. Don't just go there. The State government of Lagos well known on construction of quality projects.

OlujobaSamuel:
All of you will just open mouth and shout since Ambode, how many durable road projects was done by Ambode, aside Abule Egba and Epe axis, point out to any road that is was durable for 6months after construction, same Ambode that isn't aware there are other projects outside Road and Waste mgt, I remember how people were complaining about the state of the state then, Brt was abandoned because he wanted to introduce a new set of Brt bus.
Same people that condemned Obj, see his as the next best thing when Yar'adua came, same Yar'adua that gave our institution longest strike break then, then turned UAE as his resident country, he became the next best thing when Gej came, the clueless Gej became a darling against the brain dead Bubu, now Bulabalu can't lace the shoe of the brain dead Bubu.

Look cry from now till tomorrow that won't change anything. Because of that road, a property I acquired about 10years ago I had appreciated 1000% in value.

A stranger rewriting the narratives of the real owners will ended up been booted out.

That Lagos you used to know is no longer the same as every of your hatred will be returned in multiple fold.

That town is more beautiful and have good road than Awka the capital city of Anambra

princeade86:
someone is talking about how they built standard roads, even with what they generating, u are here talking about how much lagos is generating. Is it not a big shame that lagos, with how much they generating, still building substandard roads,and u can't see internal roads in there streets, except big men area?

Ttalk:
Don't mind him, he didn't know Lagosians will burst his lies and tear apart his envy and jealousy wrapped his envious post

jasent:
The road they are showing you is not in badagery o. The road they are taking about is half between seme to mile 2,and it's ecowas road. Don't let these people deceive you

Mccullum:
How much they're generating was his observation, he didn't observe how much they're spending on public infrastructures. Can he compares facilities in general hospital in Lagos with other states, can he compares challenges of maintenance of public infrastructures in Lagos states with others.

Can he compares the development in Lagos States with other states, yet, Lagos is not functioning to him, but it only functions during Ambode's administration.

That's where insensitivity pictures on his write up. Lagos far better than Rivers State he's trying to compare her with on infrastructure.
