Agege Chairman Seeks Residents’ Patience Over Bad Roads

Chairman of Agege Local Government, Abdul-Ganiyu Vinod Obasa, has appealed to residents and motorists to be patient as efforts are intensified to address the poor condition of major roads within the council area.

The chairman spoke on complaints over the state of the Okekoto-Alfa Nla axis, Akilo Road and the Agege Motor Road corridor leading to Ilezik, which residents and commuters have described as difficult to navigate.

Obasa acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the roads, saying the concerns of residents remain a priority for his administration.

According to him, the challenges are linked to drainage and other infrastructure issues that require collaboration between the local government and the Lagos State Government before lasting solutions can be achieved.

He explained that while temporary measures are being put in place to ease movement, the administration is working towards comprehensive road rehabilitation that will provide a permanent solution.

The chairman noted that the scale of the intervention requires technical planning, coordination and significant investment.

He said the council is engaging relevant state government agencies to ensure the affected roads receive the necessary attention.

Obasa urged residents, traders and road users to continue supporting the government’s efforts while work progresses.

He assured them that the administration remains committed to improving road infrastructure and enhancing the quality of life of residents across the council area.

“We understand the difficulties residents and commuters face daily on these roads. Efforts are ongoing to address the challenges and deliver lasting improvements,” he said.
