Lagos tracker: Work on the Alaba suru road project has current seized
by Chinedu Okafor
Those who find themselves trading or residing in the Alaba Suru section of Lagos Badagry expressway can count themselves among the victims of abandoned or suspended projects. These people considered themselves lucky when the project began few years back, especially with the consequent ease in the movement of people, goods and services that comes with the completion of such project. But with the present state of the project, it is better it was not started in the first place if the government do not have what it takes to complete it or do not consider it a priority.
In the case of Alaba suru, it is mostly the fly over bridges that have been abandoned. Half way into the project, constructions suddenly seized. Without a voice to speak, the direct victims of these suspension of work have accepted that this is the fate of their beloved neighbourhood. It also does not help that a huge Lagos market is located within the area.
Alaba suru spots a huge market with a variety of goods and services up for purchase. Goods ranging from clothes to chandeliers, there is hardly anything you seek you wouldn’t find in this market. Yet you would think that the government would pay close attention to a district that contributes heavily to the economy of the state, but this is not the case. Rather we can only assume that the Lagos government had deemed this place unfit for their attention, almost like they began the flyover bridge project as eye service, to distract people from just how remiss and irresponsible they are.
Work on the project has stopped with no explanation from government on why it was so and when it will continue. Lagos government has made several promises regarding construction on Lagos Badagry express road, none of which has been implemented. The current governor, Akinwunmi Ambode at the beginning of his tenure promised to complete the light rail project a year after, but now, work on the project at that end has completely stopped, and general work on the project in other section of the state is tardy with no specifics on when it will be completed.
The project was contracted to the Chinese construction giant, CCECC.
We can only hope that after the election, the next administration will continue the project and deliver on her promise.

I appreciate, cause I found exactly what I was looking for. You’ve ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
“You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic
but I had to tell someone!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you
have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few people are speaking
intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for
something relating to this.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
What you wrote was very reasonable. But, consider this, what if you
typed a catchier title? I am not suggesting your information is not solid., but suppose you
added a title that makes people desire more? I mean Lagos tracker:
Work on the Alaba suru road project has current seized –
YMonitor is kinda vanilla. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s
front page and note how they create article headlines to grab
people to open the links. You might add a related video or a
picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve
written. In my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.
Awesome! Its in fact remarkable article, I have got much clear idea regarding from this piece of writing.
When someone writes an post he/she retains the idea of a user in his/her mind that how a user can know it.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Appreciate it
I am sure this article has touched all the internet viewers, its really really nice post on building up new webpage.
Great post. I used to be checking continuously this weblog and I’m impressed!
Very helpful info particularly the remaining section :
) I care for such info much. I used to be looking for this certain info for a long time.
Thank you and good luck.
Good way of explaining, and good paragraph to take information about
my presentation subject, which i am going to deliver
in university.
I’d like to find out more? I’d care to find out more details.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both
equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt,
you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few
men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that
I stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
fantastic publish, very informative. I’m wondering
why the opposite experts of this sector do not notice this.
You should continue your writing. I’m sure, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
When someone writes an post he/she maintains the image of a
user in his/her mind that how a user can know it.
Thus that’s why this piece of writing is great. Thanks!
I am sure this post has touched all the internet people, its really really good article on building up new weblog.
