Photos: Construction work on-going at Adetola Str., Aguda, Surulere
About a week ago, I showed you guys the terrible condition of Adetola street in Aguda, Surulere (see here)...well, things have changed since then. The construction company assigned to do the road are now working on it. Thank goodness! See more photos after the cut..
I really have to commend those of you staying in Lagos.. it's not easy atall. It's always so hectic anytime I travel down to lagos... Una doh! God bless the government. 2tim 2:15
Good job,but please also acknowledge that this is indeed a working government.Lagos has always worked and others are emulating.
In pdp times,it won't have made a difference if you posted it.they won't do anything about it.
I also think your intention was to embarrass this government Linda.but God will remain awesome.what you meant for ridicule,the Lord has turned to good.
After how many years... until Linda talked before they started acting on it and besides news from d grapevine dat company "plycon"is secretly owned by fashola emphasises on secretly......
Linda they have working on this Adetola road in Surulere since 2013. They started from Coker axis and stopped before Savannah B/stop.
So there is no need praising them for what they were assigned to do. People that stay towards Co Oil are bearing the brunt now, hoping for when the company will get to their side.
Wow, the power of social media. Linda please show more of these bad infrastructures we have in our country and put the people responsible to shame. This is really yielding positive results. Contracts to fix some of these roads have been awarded but the evil creatures behind it have squandered the money and have refused to execute it. I believe that social media is the only voice of the voiceless to expose all the evils that have been and are still going on in our country today. I can't thank God enough for the Internet. There will be no more hiding place for the wicked.
I commend linda for shedding light on the issue of bad roads, it seems to have spurred the constructions companies into action. On the flip side, must it take linda ikeji to post a story before they act?
The road I am seeing now with caterpillar working on it were the ones done early last year, from savannah bustop down to the end of Adetola towars Enitan is still in bad shape as of this afternoon with no construction company in sight.....pls don't b deceived.
I love you linda. Your blog has so much attention. Use it to help the people of nigeria by raising awareness where its needed. Imagine small you being the mouthpiece of the people that we so desperately need
So they know what to do. And please if u can do send people in all these places to confirm work is really going on. Thank u and thank you Governor Amobode too if it is for real
Hmmm, but don't think the time this was shown and his development coincide sha. Seems too fast to have achieved this in about a week. Una sure sey na the main road abi they have been on it for sometime? I hope they made provision for the drainage system there sha.
...d street is a very long street...the picture you uploaded here is the one they have done for a very long time..they havnt done that street to reach half sef..nothing is going on there...get your facts right baby
If only our deaf and dumb governor in Imo, govr Rochas Okorocha would also listen to the yarnings of the masses in the states concerning the poor state of some important and commercial routes in the state, we would have been singing a praise song to his name by now but he wouldn't cause he has gotten what he wanted (2nd term bid) that prompted his mere visible works in his 1st term in office. Routes like the Douglas-ama Jk route, naze-nekede-ihiagwa to FUTO route....and so many more to mention. Linda please help report on the poor state of these roads in imo, I know you did it some days back but the Governor needs to be made known about his early poor performance in his 2nd term.
This is a big fat lie, I live in Surulere but I hardly visit my friends in Aguda, Okota and Agoo b4 u go and come back your clothes will fill dust couple with the terrible traffic...This construction has been going on during last campaign just to get votes from them but I guess they have abodoned it. Go and see for urself @ ur ownoconvenient, don't just upload any picture that was sent to u.
No o. that construction has been on going for over 6 months now and when the rains came they abandoned the roads like that. They aren't doing anything o. I stay on Adetola and it is a total mess still. If this platform really does help like you say, please get them to revisit the area and finish what they started. This mess starts all the way from Alhaji yinusa street all the way to Nnobi and further down to Adetola. But Adetola is worse so they can just focus on it. Bolaji Banwo is a mess and Onikoyi. Aiyetoro is bad as well and Brown street and Soloki, All these streets link to Adetola and it is the alternative route people plight just to avoid the bad road.
Linda, whoever gave you this pictures must have scammed you. I live off Adetola Street, and I am not aware of this construction work you are talking about. Some work was done there but was abandoned. But the worst is Brown Road, a parallel to Adetola Street, very close, also by the same contractor. For about three years now, they have not been able to complete a road that is not up to 1&1/2 kilometre. Yet they destroyed the road and rendered it impassable. It is terrible. Whoever took the pictures of Adetola should tell also about Brown Road nearby. Adetola is even better than Brown. They simply destroyed the road, rendered it impassable and abandoned it.
Linda,there are so many roads in Lagos like this that needs serious attention. For example the Okota-Ikotun road and Ago palace road where i presently reside. That road has done more damage to my car and other motorist especially during the rainy season. The Lagos state government should please give attention to these major roads and its like in the metropolis.
I just saw the pictures and I do not agree with the claim. I live on Akinsulire street,an adjoining street to Adetola Street. I use the road every day. While I recognize the first set of pictures of the bad road(the grey house with an abandon cement mixer are landmarks of the turning into my street), I cannot identify with the new set of pictures; meaning it is not the same place as there are not landmarks in common. It is not the time yet to comment anyone. There are about three(3) alternative routes out of that End of Aguda, Surulere namely Oladimeji Street, Adetola street and Brown Road. All three are in bad shapes, the worst of them being Adetola Street. Currently, Brown Road has received a face-lift under the construction by local contractor(Plycon Nigeria Ltd). I suspect that the pictures may be from Brown Road. The Adetola Road has been in that state for over 2 years with a snail pace work done; every raining season is a dreaded period. Some people have their cars parked to avoid costly damage to them. We hope that the State government can remember us and also force the local government that has no presence to perform its duty.

This thing won't last though. Placing interlocking stones on sand. In countries like the UK, Italy and France you walk on interlocking stones DTS been there for DECADES bcos its placed on cement. You can even see how shiny & worn d stone has gotten.
Its more expensive but d cheaper route always provides more opportunity for future expense and fraud cos it will spoil again. Same 4 our roads always placed over a layer of loose sandy or muddy materials. They can't last long.
Thank God o, its true there is progress now. This road completely spoilt my car and I find it hard going to church anytime I remember I was going to pass that road.
Linda please we can work on this together,we need overhead bridges at the roundabouts along lekki-Epe express road, the traffic will soon get out of hand. I trust ur power.
