After the expiration of 21 days ultimatum, the Sango-Ota section of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway was on Wednesday locked down by members of the Nigerian Labour Congress in Ogun State and residents of the area.

This is coming after the NLC had given the Ogun State government and the Federal government a 21-day ultimatum for them to fix the deplorable road.

The NLC had on October 6 stormed the Sango portion of the Lagos-Abeokuta highway, with a threat to shut down the state if nothing was done within 21 days.

The NLC, after the expiration of the ultimatum, mobilised its members to the failed portions of the expressway and blocked the road.

The workers and residents gathered at Sango again for the protest, carrying placards with various inscriptions such as “Enough of bad governance”, “Dapo Abiodun, let us enjoy the dividends of democracy in Ogun”, “Dapo, this suffering is too much”, “Hear our cries, Ogun people are suffering”, “Dapo repair our roads, it is our right,” and others.

The development made the travellers plying the road to be stranded.

Meanwhile, the NLC described the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, as a liar and an enemy of the State.
