The bad portion between Airtel office and the flyover linking Oba Akran Avenue to Kodesoh Street enroute Lagos State Teaching Hospital/Lagos State University College of Medicine, in Ikeja, was recently shown on Facebook social media wall of an artivist and journalist, Prince Bashir Adefaka, with an appeal to then rounding up Governor Akinwumi Ambode to fix the problem, which is same across the state’s metropolitan roads.

At the time, not only the Oba Akran road portion but virtually all local and state roads in the supposedly Centre of Excellence were in bad shape with portholes everywhere to the extent that road users needed to seek medical attention after daily outings.

Other parts badly hit included Sule Street-Cement-Anwar ul Islam-Dopemu-Oniwaya Junction and entire inner roads in the Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State. The entire Orile Agege Arigbanla, Ipaja-Funmilayo-Oke Odo-AP road stretch and from there to Ikeja, which we, in follow up to the activist’s post, went round to confirm.

As the Ambode administration was rounding up, however, not only the raised Oba Akran road bad portion but virtually all the areas got attention of the government except that in some parts the kind of attention given was not good enough as rain is already fast washing the mere stones/sand treatment away.

In his new update, the journalist thanks the state government for even giving attention but tells the new governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, that more need to be done particularly to the Oba Akran which was a mere stones/sand filling that is already being washed away by rain.

In his new post on his Facebook wall Tuesday titles, MY POST ON AN OBA AKRAN AVENUE IKEJA BAD PORTION, he said: “After my post about a bad portion near flyover on Oba Akran-Kodesoh road in Ikeja, Lagos during the last days of Governor Akinwumi Ambode, Lagos State Government responded to make it what this current photo shows below. The response, which was by mere filling of the bad portion with stones and sand, will be but for a short time as rain is already washing it away. Those working now with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu should please do the portion more properly by applying asphalt.

“To him who observes that I am particular about this portion, it is because I know the traffic implications of allowing the portion, which is about the only bad portion on the entire Oba Akran Avenue, to degenerate into collapse.”
