Too Bad! Potholes on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Caused 15 Hour Traffic

                                     Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
The traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has shown no sign of abating as gridlock now lasts for as long as 15 hours.
We learnt that the potholes around the Warewa and Arepo end of the expressway had multiplied due to increased rainfall and the abandonment of the road by both state and federal authorities.

It was learnt that the only time the road was free was between 2am and 6am. As of Monday, both sides of the road were blocked and traffic was at snail pace.

It was observed that there was traffic congestion from Ibafo inwards Lagos and vice versa due to the potholes which were gradually evolving into craters. Our correspondent observed that a side of the Warewa end of the expressway was being avoided by motorists because it was flooded.


Some commuters, who spoke with our correspondent, said they spent their salaries on transport and it was difficult to get to their place of work on time due to the situation.

A civil servant, Olowolagba Monisola, said she had been facing difficult times plying the road every day, adding that transport cost had more than quadrupled.

We are calling on the Federal Government to Help Commuters and Nigerians so movement can be pure...lol
