The residents of Igbogbo Community, in Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA of Lagos State, have been crying loud and clear to the State Government to fix their bad roads, particularly the Obafemi Awolowo/ Bayeku Road, which has brought about many negative changes to the residents, such as hikes in the transport fare; delay on the roads due to potholes and swamps; and constant breakdown of vehicles.
Igbogbo, an ancient town of over 500 years, known to be a land of Cool Beauty, but with all indications now, the community had recently turned to an unusual area to visit, due to its infrastructural decay. This has prompted the residents to call on immediate attention of the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu to fix their roads, MegaXpression Media reports.

He informed the Governor and House Speaker that the roads in Igbogbo are in a current decrepit status, and have degenerated gradually over the years due to lack of maintenance, noting that the current situation of Obafemi Awolowo/Bayeku road might denied people of gaining access to over ten communities, while the economy of those communities would be totally grounded.
