For motorists in Lagos, this is not a good time to ply roads in the state as virtually all the roads are bad. But since people must go out of their homes to search for their daily bread or keep appointments, they are forced to leave their homes.
Parts of the effects of this is that most motorists now spend a lot of money to maintain their vehicles, spend a lot of man-hours on the roads, while commuters pay more on transportation.
Although governments often claim that money is being spent to maintain some of these roads, PUNCH METRO findings showed that most of the roads in the metropolis are death traps.
Some of the roads visited by our correspondents are Ayobo-Ipaja; Alimosho; Ikotun-Egbe; Abeokuta Expressway; Oshodi-Apapa; Gbagada Estate; Ajegunle end of Ikorodu Road and Charity in Oko-Oba, Agege.
Others are Isawo, Ori-Okuta, Ojuoro Ikorodu, Ajelogo, Agbede, Bariga, Odogunyan-Odo Kekere, Alapere, Iju-Ishaga and Salami Giwa.
A motorist, Mr. Sunday Olajide, told one of our correspondents in Ikotun area of the state that the bad roads were an indication that governments at all tiers had failed.
