Lagos Residents Demand Urgent Repairs for Crumbling Road

Residents of communities along the Ginti Junction–Igbelaara Road in the Igbogbo-Baiyeku Local Council Development Area of Lagos State have voiced their concerns regarding the road's prolonged neglect, which has lasted over a decade. The road, starting at Ginti Bus Stop, connects to Ijede Road and Igbelaara, and its poor condition has disrupted transportation and crippled local businesses, forcing some residents to relocate.

Adeyemi Akinsemoyin stated that rehabilitating the road would ease traffic congestion and improve transportation, allowing for a direct route to the Ogolonto bypass along Ikorodu Road. Rachael Udoh warned that the road could become impassable before the next rainy season without government intervention.

Adediran Owolabi noted that the road's condition has increased transportation costs and discouraged commercial transport operators. Makeshift repairs by a nearby filling station have helped maintain some accessibility, but the overall situation remains dire.
