Lagos-ibadan Expressway Ongoing Construction -pictures by LordVarys: 8:29pm On Nov 26, 2013 |
I recently took a road trip to a number of southwestern states in Nigeria, including Ibadan, Abeokuta, Akure, Adoekiti, and a drive through Oshogbo. Most people would cringe at the thought of road trips judging by the quality of our roads which often leads to traffic and consequently delays that increase the time spent on such journeys. One road many people, especially those travelling out of Lagos often complain about, is the Lagos- Ibadan express road. This road links out of Lagos for people travelling out of Lagos towards the North, East and West. The economic importance of this road cannot be overemphasized. So it must have been with glee that many received the announcement that the road which has fallen into disrepair will be rehabilitated. However, the bigger question was: when will work start on this project? I do not have details of who the contract was awarded to, how much, or how long it should take to finish. Surely, those are google-able info. But I do have eye witness info that work involving the expansion of that road has started and is in full swing. We came upon the workers just after Sagamu and there is about a kilometer of expansion which has already taken place. The pegs on the road seem to suggest the expansion will come way further. I am not too farmiliar with the names of the towns but I think I stopped seeing pegs just before Ibafo. Again, I am not too sure of this. Perhaps this is also google- able information. I was able to take some photos of the construction and I will share a few at the end of this post. Whether this work will be seen to a conclusion I cannot say, but one thing is sure: work on the Lagos- Ibadan express road has begun in earnest and the RCC (I believe this is the construction company handling the project) have strong presence on the roads and seem to be doing a great job so far. I think a thumbs up to the authorities may just be in order I hope the pictures give a feel of the ongoing work. Forgive my amateur photography. anabagail./2013/11/21/lagos-ibadan-express-road-construction/ 1 Like |

Lmao. This is the great plan by the PDP at getting Lagos? A cosmetic show on the Lagos Ibadan eexpressway after 4 years of neglect? Okay I am watching. Nigerians will remember that this is the not the first time contract for that road will be awarded and it has turned to an avenue for the federal ministry of works to steal money while no work has been done on the road. They claim the contractors collect money and leave yet no arrest or trial. This is another attempt to steal money. I dey siddon look mode 1 Like |

I saw this the last time I travelled through that road The pace is slow and this is the only stretch, not more than 5km, where work is going on It's all very political from the look of things A campaign tool for 2015 Can someone please tell GEJ it's not werking Yorubas are smarter than this 2 Likes |

The contract for that road has never been awarded. Stop spewing lies. The road was formerly concessioned to Babalakin who did nothing for 2 years and the concession was revoked. The same Babalakin that is trying to hound Stella Oduah! 3 Likes |

Bunch of oily heads! !I will ignore your insults and address your points. So you call fixing one tiny spot on the whole road (wait is that even the Lagos-ibadan expressway? I can't see any FERMA personal to show it is an FG thing sef) an ivory tower? What has been done on that road for the past years while the contracts have been issued over and over again? I refused to be fooled. And you can keep the insults coming, I wont be dragged down that crazy path with you. I ain't got time for crap 3 Likes |

All the PDP or Labour needs is to produce a good candidate. From Badagry to Ekpe to Ikorodu, people are pissed. You can keep deluding yourself on NL, but you will be shocked in 2015 1 Like |

Mynd_44:Honestly you will lose this particular argument. GEJ has been in office for how long again? Remind me please! First it was that no work was going on,now it's an issue of "it may not even be Lagos Ibadan expressway because you can't see FERMA presence" like seriously? Past governments have neglected that road for eons and now someone is doing something about it,he is canvassing for votes. It really is tiresome arguing back and forth with some people I tell you!

bongila:You see this argument of yours is the same point you guys made when Boko Haram was slaughtering citizens of my country by the thousands and the president said "Keep calm it happens everywhere" they bombed everywhere killed without restraint and after thousands died, he deployed the military and I am supposed to praise him? When the subsidy was lifted, we were told the money will putty directly into capital projects like roads, electricity etc and we had to wait for how long for them to start some remedial works? Do you ask yourself why the FG has not done anything since then but they release budgets every year? Where is the second Niger bridge? Wheel is the east-west road? Where is the ministry of agriculture? Where are the rails? Yet I am support to stat passing him for fixing 2% of a road? Are you serious or you are just some sort of comic relief? |
