Lagos-Ibadan Expressroad: Completion Date Shifted To 2021 by AutoReportNG: 5:58pm On Nov 20, 2018
According to The Punch Newspapers, It is disgraceful that the deadline for the completion of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has been shifted to 2021. Work resumed this year, but Julius Berger, the contractor handling the Lagos-Sagamu intersection end of the highway, has now dashed any hope of its completion anytime soon. Citing lack of funding and additional designs, it stated that the December 2019 completion date was no longer feasible. This is a severe blow. It betrays a spectacular lack of understanding on the dynamics that underpin a country’s socio-economic development by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Being Nigeria’s most notable road asset, the news of the postponement for another three years is devastating for the users. With a vehicular traffic of 25,000 per hour, the Federal Road Safety Commission says it is the busiest highway in the country. Ordinarily, this pivotal element ought to have compelled the Federal Government to expedite action on its reconstruction. That it did not, portrays the government as bewildered and unable to get its priorities right.

The parliamentarians have continued to play petty politics with such a critical economic livewire that connects Lagos – Nigeria’s commercial hub – with other regions of the country. Although Kabiru Gaya, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Works, pontificated about the delay when Julius Berger officials told the senators about the 2021 completion during their latest oversight visit, that trip was all about playing to the gallery. Interestingly, in the 2018 budget, the National Assembly unilaterally knocked off an aggregate of N11.5 billion from funds allocated to some capital projects, including the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Second Niger Bridge and the Itakpe-Ajaokuta rail project.

Consequently, there is daily gridlock on the route these days, creating chaos, helplessness and insecurity. That the government is not mindful of this mayhem and is proposing 2021 as the new completion date is baffling.

This particular road has taken more than 20years.

Something OBJ should have finished. OBJ, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari all awarded huge some of money for this same road.

2021. Is it a sin to be a Nigeria citizen?

Your party the Peoples Destruction Party did not do up to 2% of the road in their 16 wasted years. Buhari has done up to 70% in about 3 years, if you are not shameless, you should be worshiping Buhari.

So you are not articulating obituary? Good, your head dey there. But do you remember that the NASS cut the budget for Lagos-Ibadan expressway and used the money for dubious Constituency Projects like buying of sewing machines, hair dressing machines, bore holes and other senseless things? There is a video on the internet where the useless Bukola Saraki boasted that he cut the budget for the road. So if there is not enough budgetary allocation for a project, then the project cannot complete as scheduled.

I am much aware of the budget cutting. Intact, Buhari's body language wouldn't allowed some senators to recontest cos it is no longer business as usual. E.g Ben Murray Bruce.

But that doesn't mean I shouldn't questioned things Apc are not making right
