He explained that Lagos State is handling Eric Moore to Agboju while FERMA will do four-lane maintenance to Agbara while the Federal Government has awarded Agbara to Seme as a six-lane Highway.

Why would they flag off reconstruction of a road that is under construction? Kai Nigerian politicians with eye service and paparazzi this road has been the biggest scam of all time it's already 11years and counting. An honest government would complete the project in 7years at worst. The painful part about this country is that the only time we had serious minded projects that were conceptualized and completed in due time and with good quality was during the military regimes. These politicians are just greedy and selfish. I would not be surprised that the contract cost would have been reviewed countless times during the years prior to now. Our problem is that we have wicked leaders and stupid followers in this country. Everyone here is screaming developmental strides and I keep asking which developmental strides are we talking about. It is so bad that the major infrastructures in Lagos that have stood the test of time are those built during the military regimes when Lagos was the capital territory of Nigeria and also the infrastructure built by Lateef Jakande, then save for the few by Fashola. Why is It that Lagosians are not asking the right questions from these APC politicians?
I've been involved in road and bridge constructions and can tell you that a honest government will complete the road under a year

mile 2 to eric moore should have its drainages cleaned and those grasses cleared and the sand by the side of the road on which the grasses grow, be cleared

Wow I like the comments so far, no ethnic bashing or tribal sentiments nor pdp/apc arguments, it's seems Nigerian youths are about to take their destiny in their own hands.

Anytime I pass through that road, mile 2 to agbarah I feel like weeping, the road has been under construction for more than 11years yet no completion, vehicles are destroyed daily, passengers frustrated, traders taking over some part, traffic robbers having field day etc.
If you live in that axis you must have some form of BP especially if you are working
Re: Lagos State Government Resumes Construction Of The Ten-Lane Lagos-Badagry Road by NoToPile: 7:09am On Jul 04, 2019
So what happens to tradefair- barracks- Iyana iba - okoko - agbara

So its from agboju - tradefair because agboju that I know is tarred already.

Wait so ferma is going to patch from tradefair to agbara or what? Fermahuh Jeez.

I read a news somewhere that fed govt said its from okoko to agbara that they are going to construct that lagos is handling marina to okoko now Hamzat is saying something slightly different.

We are still in for a very long ride on that road.

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday resumed the construction of the ten-lane Lagos-Badagry Expressway ten years after its commencement.





Tuuueh to all u politicians! Imagine, ten good years and de road is not even half way fix, and u have de courage to show ur ugly stinky face to brag about fixing dis same road.... It's ur duty budy not mine so fix wat u want to fix and get out of dere, after all is another way for u all to embezzle money

God please help Nigeria
And punish all our politicians
AMEN

We further stated that the project covers specifically the Agboju to Trade Fair segment as well as the rehabilitation of the Eric Moore – Mile 2 stretch.
What then happens to trade fair - Okoko and Badagry axis?

That was how I put myself in big trouble.June 12,I decided to go to trade fair. Meeen,the stress I went through that day on that road...
Was asked to come back through Tedi only for my car engine to end its life their. The shaft was also affected.
A mechanic named Lekan was called to help fix the car. He suggested buying a tokunbo (fairly used) engine. A tokunbo engine was bought, it has a new engine number. Was asked to go for police report and sworn affidavit. The mechanic is always giving one excuse or the other. Today he's sick,tomorrow the electrician he asked to come couldn't make it. He promised getting another today. I pray it's fixed today. All cos I went to trade fair ooo. It's really devastating.

It's so unfortunate we are having idiots as leaders and it's our collective error. How can a governor(Ambode) out of hatred for an individual (fashola) suffer millions of people and yet nobody can call him to order. The painful thing is that person still celebrate him. Sorry for us
. The reason is that the money for the project had develop wings

I worked on that project 9yeaes ago on the rail project from The national theatre to mile2. the road project was awarded to Julius berger back then and they delivered d project in due time. I was surprised to learn dat the contract for the construction of the road was re-awarded to the Chinese. now its been 10years and nothing is happening there,even the rail stations That have been completed area abandoned. the project was started by FASHOLA,he passed it on to AMBODE,now its SANWO EKO. I can tell you authoritatively that that project won't be completed in the next 5years.

I stopped plying that route when I passed through one faithful Sunday to AJANGBADI. I spent 4hours going and 5hours coming back. the holdup was hellish and it was like a war zone. half of the total okada in Lagos is located on dat road. it was then that I swore with my life that I won't ply that road again,except its fix

Oga, mention the 'bad' Delta road you know.
Lagos - Badagry road will easily be voted the worst road in Nigeria today.
this is a typical case of Oliver Twist... you have so many good road yet u re complaining about a few bad ones.... you should come to Delta State and experience what our so called road master is doing... even Asaba the state capital is nothing to write about...

Wow! God bless Sanwo if this is truth. It was so frustrating passing through this road, I was cursing our wicked rulers.
That nonsense woman wrapper Ambode did absolutely nothing about this road but spent billions on Oshodi project.
That thief should be arrested.

Thank you. We can easily be swayed. All those claiming Ambode did well in Lagos have no clue of how government works. Flaunting Bus stops and few road infrastructure are not the main thing in governing a state.

Maintenance is the key thing. Ambode is the worst that have ever happen to Lagos State.

Lie, if only Ambode did not abandoned this project, it be nearing completion now.
One useless man was arguing with me over this matter, the truth is that Ambode would rather serve his pocket than the people.
All the contracts started by Ambode received 100 % mobilization fees, all he needed to do is pay contractors to finish this project, as fashola is already working on it but no, he will rather embarrass himself.

but the project was funded jointly by both Lagos and federal government. if ambode didn't give it due attention what about federal government,did they too abandon it the same way you claim ambode did. the railway stations from national theater to mile2 have been completed since,what stops them from making it functional by operating commercial rail from theatre to mile2. bro, sometimes you just have to agree that our politicians are all d same

Promise kept...

See more photos of the construction here

https://www.autoreportng.com/2019/07/lagos-state-government-resumes.html
Promise kept?
Far from it.

That Road was conceptualized by Tinubu and blueprint handed over to Fashola during his first campaign as Governor of Lagos state.
After Fashola's eight years (which former tenants and landlords especially around Orile will not forget in a hurry) and Ambode's 4years we are still where we are.

To complicate issues the road was then sectioned to 3, Eric Moore to Mile 2, Mile 2 to Okokomaiko and Okokomaiko to Seme. after Fashola became a Federal Minister, Of which Lagos state was to handle Eric Moore to Okokomaiko and FG to handle Okokomaiko through Agbara-badagry to seme.
Now where I'm confused is you brought Ferma into the mix and assigned a portion meant for Lagos state to them.
My confusion is, is Lagos state government franchising a portion of its section to FG agencies, was it an error on your part or LASG is planning to abandon that portion of the road?
Re: Lagos State Government Resumes Construction Of The Ten-Lane Lagos-Badagry Road by Nobody: 11:43am On Jul 04, 2019
. Lagos started the expansion, please complete it up to Agbara; why stopping at Trade Fair? What about all the structures demolished for Right of Way up to Agbara. Please Sanwo, finish what Fashola started and get the job done.
