Commuters plying Agege Motor Road inward Mushin, Lagos, have raised concerns over the worsening condition of the busy highway, lamenting the hardship and daily risks caused by its deplorable state.

Drivers and passengers who spoke with Mushines News described the road as a nightmare, citing potholes filled with gravel and uneven surfaces that make movement difficult.

They complained that the bad portions from Moshalashi Flyover Bridge to the bus stop, and from Conoil Filling Station to Ogunmokun Street Junction by Baba Olosha Bus Stop inward Mushin Bus Stop and Ladipo Street Junction of the road in the Mushin axis, have become a major cause of gridlock, traffic accidents, and damage to vehicles.

Commercial drivers said they are forced to spend more on vehicle repairs due to the poor state of the road, while passengers lamented the long hours spent in traffic.

 “We waste too much time on this road every day. Sometimes a journey of 15 minutes turns into over an hour because vehicles slow down or break down inside these potholes filled with stones,” Mr. Tunde Ajibola, a commuter.

Residents also expressed concern over the safety implications, noting that reckless diversions and sudden braking often lead to accidents—particularly at night when the road is poorly lit.

They appealed to both the Lagos State Government and the Federal Ministry of Works to urgently rehabilitate the bad portions of the road, which they described as vital to business and transportation across Mushin and adjoining communities.

A Keke Napep rider, who spoke with Mushines News on condition of anonymity, urged the government to act fast.

"This is a major road that links thousands of people daily. Leaving it in this condition is unfair to residents and all road users,” he said.

As traffic and frustration continue to mount, commuters are hopeful that authorities will heed their call and commence repair works before the situation worsens.

It was also observed that the drainage along Olosha by the bad portion is undergoing de-siltation by the Federal Government, with the silt left to dry before being carted away.
