Sunday, 26th August, 2018 was the last day of 2018 Camp meeting convention of Apostolic Faith Church, held at Igbesa area, and this self same day was a raining day in Lagos and environs. In order to reach the camp ground in good time, my co-travellers and I set up from Lagos, off to Igbesa as early as possible, on that faithful day. Despite the rain, the journey was palatable until we reached Atan, this is because, the road leading to Atan from Lagos is relatively motorable.

However, the narrative changed as we journeyed towards Agbara. Apostolic Faith Camp ground is along Atan – Agbara corridor. The dilapidated condition of Atan/Agbara road calls for a state of emergency. The road is characterized with gully like potholes. The route is of a truth, a death trap and accident waiting to happen. Commuters plying this road are always faced with perpetual fear of expected unknown.

Unfortunately, the said road is a federal road with no visible trace of Federal government presence. Ironically, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing is a two terms governor of the neighbouring Lagos State. The honourable Minister can’t claim ignorance of the economic importance of the road in question. But the government at the centre has turned blind eye to the road that serves as the major access to the industrial area of Agbara.

The purported construction of 12kilometres six-lane and 600metres bridge in Atan/Agbara by Ogun State government seems to be a mere politically motivated project, as evidence on ground proved contrary to the State government’s claim. The only work undertaking along this corridor is a snail like evacuation that look like construction of a flyover bridge.

It is expedient for both Ogun State government and the Federal government to as a matter of urgency, take definite action towards complete overhaul of the road, so has to reduce the hardship faced by the commuters along Atan/Agbara road.
