“Better late than never“, so goes the popular saying.

Admittedly, one thing that the Governor Ambode-led government of Lagos state has been criticized for is the neglect of roads in most parts of the state.

The administration has received not a few criticisms for the deplorable conditions of the roads in the city. Roads in Lagos are characterized by all sizes of potholes – sometimes craters-size potholes. It has made driving experience in Lagos so unpleasant.


Thankfully, it appears the Government – despite the fact that his days are numbered as the state administrator – has decided to go on campaign to restore the roads to a state of relative dignity.


Across the state, rehabilitation works on roads are ongoing.

See pictures of the road repair activities as shared online by the Lagos State Government Monitoring team.
