Lagos postpones Lekki-Ajah corridor rehabilitation
The planned rehabilitation of the Lekki-Ajah corridor has been indefinitely delayed by the Lagos State Government.
This information was shared in a statement by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, through his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
Osiyemi mentioned that the work, which was initially set to commence on November 15, has been postponed, and a new date will be provided later.
He stated that preliminary activities along the Lekki-Ajah corridor will proceed until the end of November, while the comprehensive rehabilitation will only start once the updated schedule is issued.
The Commissioner remarked, “The Lagos State Government wishes to notify the public that the planned rehabilitation work on the Lekki–Ajah corridor, initially anticipated to begin on Saturday, November 15, 2025, has been put off to a later date.
A new start date will be communicated in the future. While preliminary activities will continue until the end of this month, full-scale rehabilitation will not commence until the revised timetable is announced.
“The State Government appreciates the patience and understanding of all road users, as it remains dedicated to enhancing road infrastructure and ensuring safer, more efficient transportation for everyone.”
On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the Lagos State Government revealed a comprehensive eight-month road rehabilitation initiative along the Lekki-Ajah corridor, set to last from November 15, 2025, to July 15, 2026.
The project aims to improve road infrastructure and alleviate persistent traffic congestion on one of Lagos’ most heavily trafficked routes.
The government noted that the rehabilitation will be executed in two strategic phases to minimize disruption for commuters.
Phase 1 will encompass the area from the Lekki First Toll Gate to the Lekki Second Toll Gate, divided into seven sections, while Phase 2 will cover the stretch from the Lekki Second Toll Gate to the Ajah Under-Bridge, divided into four sections.
