Also, students of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, joined the protest en masse to block the road all the way to Agbara, while some were seen playing table tennis on the expressway.

At Iyana-Era and Iyana Ishashi, some hoodlums also blocked the Badagry expressway, using the protest to extort money from commercial motorcyclists.

Ovi Kuponu, one of the coordinators of the protest, told newsmen that the youths in Badagry and Agbara came out to protest deplorable state of the expressway and bad governance.

“Youths have come out today to tell Nigerians that this is the best time to rewrite the history of the country.

“Today the protest have received support from everyone, as you can see, everyone came out, market men and women from Agbara and Morogbo markets have come out to support us.

“Commercial drivers and commuters, plying the roads have parked their cars to support us.

“What we are telling the government is to fix Badagry Lagos expressway,” said the protester.

NAN reports that Lagos State Government is responsible for the Iganmu – Okokomaiko section of the highway, while FERMA is handling Okokomaiko – Agbara axis of the road.
