FEDERAL GOVT SUSPENDS WORK ON LAGOS-IBADAN ROAD

The Federal government has suspended construction works by Julius Berger on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to give way for free flow of vehicular traffic on the ever busy road during the yuletide season.

Speaking with journalists after inspecting a stretch of the road, director, Federal Ministry of Works, Southwest, Adedamola Kuti said the government decided to remove the barricades causing gridlock on the road ahead of December 15th earlier announced to allow travellers to ply the road with ease.

Kuti, who said construction works would continue in January 2023, assured that the project would be completed by the 30th of March, 2023.

The commissioner of police in Ogun State, Mr. Lanre Bankole, said apart from removing the road barriers to end gridlock prevalent on the road, the police command will ensure safety and adequate security not only on the road but the entire state.
