The intention of the Lagos State government to expand the Lagos/Badagry express way has generated debate in the state as some residents in the area especially the affected area planning to take government to court.
[ See Article ]
This indeed is a very good project, as his excellency commented, this project was long due, nothing should debar the government from accomplishing this lofty project which offers a better prospect of life to Lagos people as a whole and more importantly, the people dwelling in Badagry including those who appear to oppose the project.
I sympathise with those who may be affected by the project and I would advise them to state their grievances and follow the right procedure for compensation, they should take advantage of a listening administration with a human face now in power.
Nothing should stop this project, any attempt by any body to stop a valuable project like this is not only a disservice to themselves, Lagos inhabitants, or to Nigerians generally but more of a disservice to humanity and better quality of life.
Thanks.
