Residents of the community who spoke to YMonitor laments the deplorable condition of Ijesha Market road, Adeshina street, Ijesha road, Aguntasholo street and Imam Thani street (The only one of the roads currently receiving attention). Some part of Ijesha falls under Mushin Local government like the Ijesha market road, other parts are under Ikate LCDA which is under Surulere local government.
- Ijesha Market Road: The road is in a deplorable condition, and it is worse during rainy season, it links the major market in Ijesha.
2) Adeshina Street: The street is a major street and one of the longest in the community, it leads to Ijesha express. Every part of the road is ravaged by portholes making it difficult for two vehicles to pass through simultaneously. Some vehicles cannot even ply Adeshina road without breaking down completely.
3) Ijesha Road: Ijesha road, also a link road in a deplorable condition, people that leaves in surrounding streets like Agunlejika, Aguntasholo, Imam Thani will burst out on the Ijesha road.
