Our correspondent who visited the road on Thursday reported that the worst hit are some spots at Abule-Egba, U-Turn, Ijaiye and Alakuko areas up to the old tollgate at Sango-Ota, Ogun State.

A driver, Uche Michael, told our correspondent that since the condition of the road deteriorated over two years ago, it has been challenging driving on it.
