Residents groan over deplorable Lagos community road, seek repair

Residents of Olaoluwa Community Development Association in Lagos State have expressed frustration over the poor condition of their road, which has remained unimproved for over 30 years. The road, located in the Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area, has become impassable during rainfall, causing transportation difficulties and safety hazards.

Businesses struggle due to the lack of access, while schoolchildren face challenges reaching their schools during wet weather. Residents have repeatedly requested assistance from authorities, including writing letters, recording videos of the road's condition, and appealing through radio stations, but their efforts have been unsuccessful.

The community's chairman, Moses Adeola, emphasized the urgent need for government intervention, highlighting the dangers the poor road condition poses to pregnant women, individuals with medical emergencies, and schoolchildren.
