That is Nigeria for you.

The FG should hand over the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to the relevant state governments, and put them in charge of fixing it.

It really shouldn't take forever to solve this problem

Firstly, no destroyed road anywhere can be rebuilt in three days.

The problem with the Lagos-Benin road is the usual Nigerian problem, the initial contract was executed on substandard road foundations and with substandard materials.
The only way to permanently fix that road will be to start again from scratch, re-surveying and digging up every last bit of tarmac.

Another thing to do would be to develop the water ways along the route, so that logging and other heavy duty trucks can have their cargoes hauled by barges on water instead; this is not only cheaper, but will go a long way to save the road from unnecessary and destructive loads.
The railways are being reborn, but there does not seem to be any policy to use them to lift pressure off main arteries like the Lagos-Benin road.

@beaf,
how long does it take to rebuild roads?
and how long has the benin -lagos expressway has taken?
what do u have to say about the contract awarded by obasanjo regime to tony annenih between 2002 and 2003?
do u think it is wise to forget all the contracts awarded, paid for and not executed by the past administration to start afresh?
