Minister Commissions Completed Ibadan-Oyo Section Of Ibadan-Illorin Highway by awodman: 9:50pm On Jul 04, 2013
The Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, on Thursday said the Federal Government would complete all ongoing road projects, including the Oyo-Ogbomosho section of the Ibadan-Ilorin Expressway.

Mr. Onolememen stated this at the inauguration of the N20.1billion Ibadan-Oyo section of the four-lane expressway.

The contract for the 43.25 kilometre Ibadan-Oyo road project was first awarded on Jan. 31, 2001.

The minister said that the Federal Government was committed to putting in place a good road network to enhance the movement of people and goods.

“One of the major programmes of the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan is to provide the people with a better road network across the country.

“This programme is very important to Nigeria because it has led to a reduction in traffic congestion,’’ he said.

The minister, however, urged all road users to refrain from the abuse of the road by engaging in overloading, indiscriminate parking and dumping of refuse.

“The Federal Government will continue to carry out the maintenance of the road networks,’’ he said.

In her address, the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Jumoke Akinjide, said President Goodluck Jonathan had pledged to reconstruct the Olorunsogo-Ona-Ara- Akanran road.

She also said the president would flag-off the re-construction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.

Earlier, Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State said that the inauguration was long awaited; noting that it was coming 12 years after construction first began.

Mr. Ajimobi, who was represented by Akin Olajide, the Secretary to the State Government, pleaded for the quick completion of the Oyo-Ogbomosho section of the road.

“We will like to bring to the notice of the minister again that the Federal Government is owing the state the sum of N18.4billion which the state government had expended on the construction of some federal roads,’’ he added.

He further said that his administration had awarded 251 road contracts across the state, with some already completed and inaugurated.

Among dignitaries at the inauguration were Bashir Yuguda, the Minister of State for Works, and Kabir Abdullahi, the Federal Director of Highways in the South-West Zone.

@OP, I think the RECONSTRUCTION of the road, a section of the Oyo-Ibadan Expressway, was actually COMPLETED and commissioned by the Minister, not the Flag-off of its reconstruction.

I just saw a section of the newly Reconstructed Road Section on National news this evening.

which newly reconstructed road?the road remains the same way it was when yar'adua stopped work on it.the major portion left undone after obasanjo was the oyo-ogbomosho axis and its still the way it was as at 2 weeks ago when i passed there.travellers still pass the old road.they might have touched it up a little but to say it was reconstructed is an absolute fabrication.

as for the flag-off,lets hope they begin work there.

I have done 200km/h before but not on 9ja's killer roads... From Germany to Denmark Autobhan. The road was 6 lanes without limit... I think everyone was on that top gear too coz I was overtaken....

I wish will have such good roads in 9jA one day...


To the topic.. The road is long overdue 12 years FA! FMWH should be ashamed.... They couldn't even patch the old route to be motorable... I mean there is nothing wrong in them fixing the old road too.. This is stale air...

Most of you should just stop this childish behaviour of trying to discredit any acheivement that has GEJ attached to it...If you continue on this lane I promise you that you will even become more pained,the hate will eat you up the more because in the coming days a whole lot of projects are going to be commissioned by this administration....

2007 this is when it was finished .. why are you telling lies on nairaland.. can you go back and do it again.
[size=18pt]
the idea was mine. it was already showing on google earth 3 or 4 years ago.

the idea was mine to build the road to ilorin, i was the one who told a story how when i was at the university of ilorin.
[/size] many student die on that road/ and two days after nigeria government awarded the road after my story. ilorin people can see. i am doing something fa. how are you fa ni ilorin.

only road built when i started to complain and talk about marginalization.
the correct procedure is to name the road, olusegun obasanjo way. that way president,governors can be force to build something, so that they can name it after them.

Forget the liars, thieves and vultures.

I saw the section COMPLETED and commissioned on TV. It looked very solid, with markings and drainages. Even the Oyo state govt was represented at the commissioning ceremony.

The GEJ govt inherited several uncompleted and moribund projects and he is bringing them to completion one after the other. Past leaders, including OBJ also inherited uncompleted projects (since Nigeria was not born in 1999) and had the choice to either continue, complete and commission them or ABANDON them.
