FRSC confirms deplorable state of Lagos-Badagry expressway
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has confirmed the terrible state of the Lagos-Badagry expressway.
Motorists and residents of the area have lamented the inconvenience the deplorable road has been causing.
The Commission’s Unit Commander, Fatai Bakare, said Wednesday that the contractor was being expected to return to the road for completion. Bakare warned drivers plying the road against speeding due to its state.
“We must be sincere with ourselves, the road is in a deplorable state,” the commander told NAN.
“It is part of our duty to do a monthly audit of all roads in Badagry up to Seme border and all other federal roads that are under our control.
“We have audited the Lagos-Seme Expressway this month and submitted our reports to our headquarters; for onward submission to the affected ministry and agencies of government.
“To be candid, the Federal Government is not folding its arms on ensuring that the road is motorable.
“Recently, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Raji Fashola, said the road has been awarded,” he said.
Bakare added that the officials from the unit had been assigned to the bad portions of the road to ensure that motorists did not drive recklessly.
