The Lagos-Benin expressway connects the Western part of Nigeria to the South-South, South-Eastern and Middle belt states in Nigeria.

For decades, this very important expressway was in the most atrocious condition.

Successive governments left the Lagos-Benin expressway in the most outrageous state of disrepair.

The road featured dangerously situated crater-seize potholes and collapsed sections.

Journeys on this expressway took far longer than necessary. Journeys that ordinarily ought to last for 3 hours took 8 to 10 hours, or more!

It is on record that a federal Minister once famously wept – during a visit to a failed portion of this expressway – on account of the horrific condition of this national expressway.





However, a sincere contract for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Lagos-Benin expressway was awarded by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

The reconstruction of the Lagos-Benin expressway commenced in 2011.

The reconstruction project was broken down in two phases.

Phase 1 involved the reconstruction of the of the Benin-Ore expressway axis of this federal road.

Phase 2 involved the reconstruction of the Ore-Sagamu axis of the Lagos-Benin expressway.

In 2014, the reconstruction of the Benin-Ore axis was completed by the Jonathan administration.

The Benin-Ore axis of this famous road now wears a resplendent outlook.

The new state of the road now makes journeys smoother and faster. A journey from Ore to Benin, which hitherto lasted for several hours, now takes just one hour.

See photos of the reconstructed Benin-Ore axis of the Lagos-Benin expressway below.






The Phase 2 of the rehabilitation of the Lagos-Benin expressway (Ore-Sagamu axis) suffered delay in its commencement. Ostensibly, this was because of the change of government in 2015.

Nonetheless, reconstruction eventually commenced, though at a very slow pace.

Three years after,as opposed to the reconstruction of the Ore-Sagamu axis of this very important expressway, the roads have been patched to rid it of some potholes.

Indeed, the stretch of road from Sagamu to Ore now wear a pothole-free look. However, the motoring experience on the road is still very bumpy.

See the pictures of the Mohammadu Buhari rehabilitated Sagamu-Ore axis of the Lagos-Benin expressway below.

Buhari is a scammer. The biggest scammer in the history of Nigeria.

All hail the lifeless zombie

God bless Dr Goodluck Jonathan

You should be ashamed of yourself. A road constructed less than 4yrs is been patch by another government.
Can't your single digit brain tells you that your Jonathan government did a substandard road?

The difference is clear. One is sincere while the other is dubious

Oshiomole did what? I guess you don't know the road in question. When there are hundreds of roads begging for attention in Edo State and he will waste tens of billions of Naira doing a federal road that serves the entire South South, South East and some States in South West

Buhari the greatest scammer did patch patch work.


No wonder, d economy is in patch patch condition

jonatahn i think

There is no need for too much argument on this issue, if the previous administration has actually done something tangible, the Buhari ked government wouldn't have embarked in the completion of abandoned projects.
