Lagos residents lament hardship over collapsed road

Commuters plying the Bogije and Kajola ends of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ibeji-Lekki, Lagos State, have lamented the poor condition of the road.

They told PUNCH Metro that the road usually created traffic which lasted hours every morning and evening.

A resident, Monsurat Quadri, said she once trekked in the rain because she could not cope with the traffic.

The 45-year-old said, “We want the government to repair the road for us because the traffic generated by the poor condition of the road is serious. With or without rain, the road is not good. I was once stuck in traffic from 6pm to 8pm. That day, I had to alight from the bus and trek from Malete to Kajola. The bad road is our major problem in Ibeju-Lekki, especially from Bogije to Kajola. We want the governor to come to our aid.”

Another resident, Femi Farinloye, said the traffic had affected business in the area.
