Again federal government fails to finish and deliver Lagos-ibadan expressway

Again for the seventh time the federal government has failed to finish and deliver the Lagos-ibadan expressway to the motoring public.

The federal government through the minister of information Lai Mohammed had promised last week after the federal executive council meeting that unfailingly that the road reconstruction project will be concluded on Sunday, April, 2023.

Also speaking in the same vein the minister of works Babatunde Fashola speaking on channels television had vowed that the federal government will deliver on the road and commission it on April, 30,2023.

Motorists and communities living along the Lagos-ibadan expressway have been suffering untold hardship since the road reconstruction started around 2016.

The road reconstruction is characterized with barricades, blockages and narrowing of some sections of the road thereby making it Herculean for motorists and commuters to have a seamless free flow traffic.

The road reconstruction has claimed many lives through sudden death, killings, attacks, kidnapping and other means.

Many vehicles have also been marked off road due to the undue stress and deterioration they pass through on the road.

In recent times motorists spend average of four to five hours to drive through Mowe to 7-Up area of Lagos, a journey that ordinarily takes thirty minutes.

Also inward Ibadan is even worse as it takes longer hours to drive through Iyana-Iworo in Lagos to Magboro in Ogun state.

Most times motorists and commuters spend close to 10 hours as people get to their destinations at the wee hours of the following day.

With this latest disappointment nobody knows the next delivery date for the finishing of Lagos-ibadan expressway.
