Traffic Blocked on Gbagada Express for Presidential Commissioning, Sparking Public Outcry

580

The Gbagada Expressway has been blocked to prepare for President Bola Tinubu’s event to open the newly rebuilt Apapa-Oworonshoki-Ojota-Oshodi expressway and the recently fixed Third Mainland Bridge.

This has caused many problems for commuters and residents, leading to widespread frustration and anger.

People in Lagos are upset about the road closures, which have made the city’s already lousy traffic even worse. Many feel that the government is focusing on big projects and ignoring the everyday needs of regular people.

The timing and way these projects are handled have upset many, who think the trouble they cause outweighs the benefits. Critics say there is a growing gap between what the government is doing and what the people need.

Social media is full of comments from rich and everyday Nigerians who feel left out by the government’s actions. Many are frustrated and question how these projects help regular people.

One resident expressed their concerns, saying,

“Who does this help? Even the rich are not happy with this administration, let alone the poor people.” This shows the general dissatisfaction and the belief that the government’s efforts are not addressing people’s needs.

The blocked expressway and the resulting traffic mess have highlighted the ongoing struggles people in Lagos face.

While infrastructure improvements are necessary, many call for better planning and execution that cause less disruption and consider the impact on daily life.

As President Tinubu gets ready to open these critical projects, the government faces increasing pressure to balance significant initiatives with the real needs of its citizens. People hope that future projects will improve infrastructure and all Nigerians’ lives.
