If there was a competition for bad roads in Lagos, the Lagos-Badagry Expressway will most likely outshine other numerous ones across the state. But the large potholes in-between Trade Fair Under Bridge, Barracks bus stop and from Agbara down to badagry town are the worst of the terrible fate that has befallen the road.
Badagry with so much history attached to it shouldn’t be going through bad road as this is a federal road, Local governments, State Government has done nothing to help the citizen of the Town. Lots of people crying for help but all proves abortive as it is actually not affecting them directly. The road has been bad for the past Twenty (20) years and no progression as the Government never see reasons for the good road.
In an interview with Honorable Avoseh Suru in 2012, he said that the road will be done soon due to the fact that he was one of the Honorable in House of Assembly as at that time, he made it clear that the government is trying their best to let the people have a good road. After Eight (8) years the road is now a Lion’s Den for the people of Badagry.
Many landlords and tenants working outside Lagos have to look for alternatives to stay back due to the bad road and go home weekends. Alternative were given which was via marine (Boat) which is not also safe for the people of Badagry. Several lives lost on the alternatives leading to Badagry .
A cry for help by the people to the government has proved abortive which led to the Peaceful protest by the Badagry Youth on October 1, 2020 which was later turned to a nightmare for the youth when a troop of police officers from Area K brutalized them and moved them down to Panti Police station.
