Residents Beg Ambode to Construct U-Turns on Lagos-Abeokuta Highway
Residents of Lagos State have appealed to the state government, led by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, to construct u-turns on the Lagos-Abeokuta Highway to ease traffic congestion and reduce accidents on the busy road.
The residents, who are mostly commuters and motorists, made the appeal at a town hall meeting organized by the Lagos State Government to discuss the challenges facing the highway. They lamented that the lack of u-turns on the highway has led to frequent traffic jams, accidents, and loss of lives.
"We have been suffering on this road for too long. The lack of u-turns has made it difficult for us to navigate the road, especially during peak hours. We are appealing to the government to construct u-turns on this highway to ease traffic congestion and reduce accidents," said Mrs. Aisha Ali, a resident of Agege.
Another resident, Mr. Olamide Adeniyi, added, "The highway is a major route for many of us, but the lack of u-turns has made it a nightmare. We are tired of being stuck in traffic for hours, and we are worried about the safety of our lives and properties."
The Lagos State Government has been working to improve the infrastructure of the highway, including the construction of new roads and the rehabilitation of existing ones. However, the lack of u-turns remains a major challenge on the highway.
The government has promised to consider the appeal of the residents and construct u-turns on the highway. "We understand the challenges facing the highway, and we are committed to finding solutions to them. We will consider the appeal of the residents and construct u-turns on the highway to ease traffic congestion and reduce accidents," said Mr. Kayode Opeifa, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works and Infrastructure.
The Lagos-Abeokuta Highway is one of the busiest roads in Lagos State, with thousands of commuters and motorists using it daily. The road connects Lagos to Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, and is a major route for goods and services. However, the road has been plagued by traffic congestion, accidents, and poor infrastructure, which has made it a challenging route for many users.
