The
reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will cost the Federal
Government N160.7bn.
This
figure was disclosed to our correspondent by the Senior Special
Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin
Okupe, in an exclusive interview in Abuja on Tuesday.
Okupe
said the road would consist of three lanes on either side from Lagos
up to the Sagamu interchange, and two lanes from there up to Ibadan.
He
also said that there would be a flyover and inter-change at the
Redemption Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to solve the
traffic gridlock on that portion of the road.
Okupe
said, “The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was awarded on Monday at a total
cost of N160.7bn.
“The
multi-lane road project, which will be handled by Julius Berger
Construction Company and the RCC, will consist of three lanes on
either side up to Sagamu junction, and two lanes up to Ibadan as well
as a flyover and inter-change at the Redemption Camp to solve the
perennial traffic gridlock on that portion of the road.”
He
promised that the Federal Government would pay attention to the road,
which he described as major.
Please,
too much talking, just do it. It's long
overdue and please do it well.
