Abandoned road in Oshodi

The less than 300 metres road that links the two church bus stops in
Oshodi is known as Daodu Street. The street is important in the
transport network within the community. It also connects communities
like Mile 2 and Isolo to other communities like Ikeja and Agege.
This important road has deteriorated to the point of total collapse
for years. Previous administrations have neglected the road without
any moves to upgrade, re-surface or re-construct it. A female friend
once jokingly said that she often quarrelled withOkadariders for
taking her through this terrible road. It's that bad.
Over six months ago, the Bolaji Ariyo-led government commenced the
rehabilitation of this road much to everyone's delight. Alas, after
over six months, the road has yet to be completed; in fact, the
rehabilitation has been abandoned without any trace of the contractor.
This is not expected from an administration that brought so much hope
to the people of Oshodi-Isolo. The newly registered All Progressives
Congress will find it difficult to convince people that it is
different from the Peoples Democratic Party if we continue to get this
kind of dismal performance from their elected officers.
