Amaechi: Those manning 17 checkpoints on Badagry-Seme Road are not known

Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, has expressed dismay over the multiple checkpoints along the Badagry-Seme expressway.

Amaechi expressed this concern on Wednesday while speaking with NAN in Lagos.

He said he saw about 17 checkpoints on the way to Seme border town.

The minister asked Nigerians to be patient as the federal government is fixing the Badagry road with the support of two contractors.

“I asked at the regional meeting that why is it that we saw four checkpoints on the way to Togo and Lome,” Amaechi said.

“The security officer at Lome apologised, saying they usually had two checkpoints but due to Nigerian elections, they increased the checkpoints to four.

“In Nigeria, election or no election, we saw 17 checkpoints.

“The government security officers said that they did not know where the people came from but it would be handled.”
