The Minister of Housing and Works, Babatunde Fashola has reacted to the backlash that trailed his comment of Nigerian roads not being as bad as it is portrayed to be.



The former Governor of Lagos state who spoke in Ilara- Mokin, Ifedore local government area of Ondo state while inaugurating some roads financed by Michael Ade-Ojo, chairman of Toyota Nigeria Limited said his comment was taken out of context.



“Let me start from the journey by roads to the 36 states, 12 hours everyday, so I know what I saw, and I also said what I wanted to say in that press conference, and thankfully, I must thank your TV Channels, at least, showing the maturity and the professionalism responsibility to play the whole tape, so people can see the context of what I said,” he said.

“I didn’t use the word ‘exaggerated’, I didn’t say that. Please go and listen to what I said, thank you.”



Fashola also reiterated that the federal government will not refund any state that rehabilitates or reconstructs federal roads.

Good morning Mr fashola

They will lie first and then try to modify it when caught.Nothing truthful about these idiot but just lying shamelessly & stupidily.

If the federal government can't take responsibility for federal roads or federal projects in each state then why is Nigeria still operating on a centralized system of governance? Why not decentralize and operate on a regional governance?

u were caught in ur lies pls don lie again when the evidence is there for all to see

Lol he’s afraid of Nigeria’s comments.

Him don change am....politicians.
