The deplorable state of Nigerian roads is akin to driving on a road to hell. it is sad that despite the investments, our roads are not properly managed. I recently drove on the Sagamu-Benin expressway and I was shell-shocked at the level of neglect; at some point I was baffled at the way the road felt like driving on quick sand because I was trying to avoid potholes.
Anytime I hear the Ministry of Works talk glowingly about Sagamu-Benin road, I wonder what is happening. The Sagamu-Okunowa stretch of the road has been totally neglected and it’s a nightmare driving on it.
I lost count of the bad spots, as the road was uneven and daunting. This is a clarion call on the authorities to resurface the roads probably and make it better for safe driving. As we speak it is not safe to drive on.
