The Lagos State Government has indefinitely postponed the planned rehabilitation of the Lekki-Ajah corridor.

The announcement was made in a statement by Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

Osiyemi noted that the works, originally scheduled to begin on November 15, have been delayed, and a new start date will be announced in due course.

Osiyemi noted that preliminary activities along the Lekki-Ajah corridor will continue until the end of November, while the full-scale rehabilitation will only begin once the revised schedule is announced.

The Commissioner said, ‘’The Lagos State Government wishes to inform the public that the planned rehabilitation works on the Lekki–Ajah corridor, earlier scheduled to commence on Saturday, 15th November 2025, have been postponed to a later date.

‘’A new commencement date will be communicated in due course. *While preliminary activities will continue till end of the month, full rehabilitation works will not begin until the revised schedule is announced.

‘’The State Government appreciates the understanding and patience of all road users as it remains committed to improving road infrastructure and ensuring safer, more efficient transportation for all.’’

On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the Lagos State Government announced an extensive eight-month road rehabilitation project along the Lekki-Ajah corridor, scheduled to run from November 15, 2025, to July 15, 2026.

The project is designed to enhance road infrastructure and ease chronic traffic congestion along one of Lagos’ busiest transit routes.

The government highlighted that the rehabilitation will be carried out in two strategic phases to reduce disruption for commuters.

Phase 1 will cover the stretch from the Lekki First Toll Gate to the Lekki Second Toll Gate, divided into seven sections, while Phase 2 will extend from the Lekki Second Toll Gate to the Ajah Under-Bridge, split into four sections.
