Daily reports across the country continue to highlight a grim reality — Nigeria is witnessing a troubling rise in fatal auto crashes, largely blamed on the nation’s rapidly deteriorating road network.
Findings reveal that over 80 per cent of these accidents are linked to the deplorable condition of major highways and the inefficiency of road management authorities. Once vital arteries for trade and mobility, many of these routes have now degenerated into death traps.
From North to South, East to West, Nigeria’s highways are riddled with deep potholes, eroded shoulders, and broken lanes. In several areas, roads have become nearly impassable. The absence of streetlights, proper signage, and drainage systems further endangers motorists, particularly at night and during the rainy season.

Traveling across these roads have become more than an inconvenience — it is a life-threatening gamble. Many drivers lose control while maneuvering through damaged sections, leading to countless crashes and loss of lives.
Federal roads, owned and maintained by the Federal Government, cut across all 36 states, linking cities and regions. Nigeria reportedly has the largest road network in West Africa, with more than 108,000 kilometres of surfaced roads recorded as far back as the 1900s.
Although the figure has since increased, poor maintenance has left much of the infrastructure in decay.
These federal routes — meant to serve as critical economic and social connectors — are now plagued by neglect. Motorists are often stranded for hours as vehicles struggle through failed portions of highways rendered nearly impassable by gaping potholes, erosion, and flooding.
In Lagos, residents and commuters have long endured the hardship of navigating failed sections of federal and connecting roads. The situation has worsened following recent heavy rainfall, which further exposed the substandard quality of earlier repair works.
Notable examples include the Lagos-Ota Road, Lagos-Sagamu-Ibadan Expressway (Sections I & II), Apapa–Tin Can Port Road, NNPC Depot (Atlas Cove)–Mile 2 Access Road, Ikorodu-Sagamu Road, Ojota-Ikorodu Road, and the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, among others.
Despite repeated public outcry, many of these federal roads remain in deplorable condition. Investigations reveal that several rehabilitation or reconstruction contracts were awarded but later abandoned, leaving the roads worse than before.

Agege Motor Road, for instance, remains riddled with potholes from Mushin-Olosha through Bolade-Oshodi to the Dorman Long Bridge. This crucial federal route connects Oshodi, Mushin, Ojuelegba, and Ikeja, yet its persistent neglect continues to frustrate motorists and paralyze economic activity.
For many Nigerians, the daily struggle to navigate these crumbling roads has become both a physical and emotional burden — one that underscores the urgent need for a nationwide overhaul of the country’s transportation infrastructure.
