Lagos governor walking the talk on Lagos-Badagry highway

Vehicular traffic and journey along the Lagos-Badagry expressway from the National Theatre end Iganmu to Lagos International Trade Fair through Mile 2 middle lane has greatly improved and this has greatly reduced the frustrations and anguish previously being experienced commuter during the administration of former governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Between the Igboelerin junction leading to Agbara, work is progressing very faston the resurfacing and grading of the dual carriage expressway by Wizchino Engineering Limited on behalf of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, (FERMA).

BusinessDay transport reporter can confirm from personal his daily traveling experience along the corridor that journey time all the way from Agbara has significantly improved with economic and other social activities thriving along the corridor. This for many road users is big relief following the apthy shown by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu predecessor.

Some of the road users like Kellie Franklin who spoke to our reporter however said more still needs to be done by the state government on the service lane from Iganmu to Mile 2 interchange which on daily basis record gridlocks due to the menace.

Driving through Mile 2 interchange from Iganmu to connect Olodi Apapa, Kirikiri town, Tin Can Island port, Amuwo Odofin and Jakande estates and Festac Town respectively remains a nightmare on daily basis as vehicles engines are shut down completely for hours in a short that would take maximum of 10 minutes.
