Few month ago, precisely, 23rd Sep. 2016, Ketu-Adaloko road was commissioned by the Lagos state government as one of its 114 new constructed roads contrary to the expectation of dwellers of Ketu and Adaloko communities. According to them, the road was only done half way, there was no outlet created for the erosion water. Their belief was that once serious rainfall set in, the condition of the road would get worse, and thereby rendering every labour on the road useless.
Very true to their speculations, right now, just two months after commissioning, the road is completely impassable by both pedestrians, motorists and the keke users.
According one of the pedestrians who complained to this reporter, ''before now we used to trek this road from Ketu to Adaloko if we do not feel like boarding keke. But now look at the road. They have spoiled everything for us.''
Pastor Mike, a pastor of one one the churches whose building is presently being endangered by the failed road appealed to the Lagos state governor to please come to their aid. According to him, ''since this road was like this many people have not been coming to church. Is this not a danger? (pointing to a gully in front of his church). Let the governor please return to finish the road because our lives are been endangered by it. We are begging him.''
