Living Made Difficult: Road Transportation Nightmare inLagos

That Nigeria suffers acute deficiency in key infrastructure across the length and breadth of the country

is no longer news. What is news for some time is the stride Lagos State is said to have made, particularly

in the area of physical development. It is important to state that the pass mark given to Lagos was

based on its performance relative to other states in the federation. It must be pointed out that most of

these other states performed woefully in the area of development. While the leadership in Lagos state

must be encouraged with commendation for its relative achievements, it is imperative that its

government must be advised to seek true yardstick of measurement. From various speeches,

authorities in Lagos seek to make the state a globally competitive place. To achieve this noble goal, its

current tempo has to change fundamentally

Lagos is Nigerias commercial capital and the 24 megacity in the world. The state o f its roads remains appalling not withstanding some gains made. T he pain, anguish and

hardship faced by users show no letting. Hours unending are spent in traffic daily. The adverse implications of this for business and health of the citizens are enormous.

The stress of navigating mostparts of the state is irreconcilable with the vision o f becoming a globally competitive cent re.

Many key highways in the st ate are daily torture routes for the citizens; while the inner roads seem to have been left out of t he cont emplation of authorities for action.

They are more of paths than roads! That most people go through same frustration on roads to their houses and places of activities for years, with hope occasionally rising,

only to be dashed is sad. There is an urgent need for sound strategy and strong act ion to deal with this ugly situation. When? Since yesterday!!
