The federal government says the Lagos-Ibadan expressway will be commissioned next month.

Minister of state for Works and Housing, Mu’azu Sambo, disclosed this yesterday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in New York.

Sambo added that the Second Niger Bridge will be commissioned in October.

On October 11, President Muhammadu Buhari said the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, and other key projects under the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) will be completed before 2023.

Last month, minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, said the Second Niger Bridge was at a 91 per cent completion rate.

According to Sambo, Buhari has handed over 941 km of road projects between November 25 and December 13, 2021, to connect 10 states in five geo-political zones.

“The Second Niger Bridge that has alluded every administration will be commissioned in October by President Muhammadu Buhari and Lagos-Ibadan highway that has deferred previous administrations will be commissioned in June,” Sambo said.

“They represent critical infrastructure necessary to develop a country and its people, for them to be able to get on with their lives in an easy and convenient way.

“President Buhari clearly understands the necessity to invest in infrastructure, not just to support a growing population but as an economic driver.

“It is, therefore, not surprising that, through the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, we are managing over 1,019 contracts involving 958 bridges and road projects.”

The minister also said the federal government is also constructing houses in 34 states of the federation, citing about 6,000 housing units nationwide so far.

He added that infrastructure is the bedrock of development as it covers all the sectors of life.

You are a fool....go and check all my other posts and you'll know why.

Same road that was commissioned in 2015 at 3% completion level and same road that has already been badly damaged by several petrol laden tankers that caught fire at different sections of it, even in the process of construction.

Uncompleted project sets to be commissioned... Abandon project loading

All in the name of up coming election

If Only the Youths of this great nation can come together and decisively flush out all old cargoes that are slowing/frustrating the progress of this great nation, and Elect one of us who will work under our collective supervision, Then Nigeria will become great again and recover its lost reputation and glory.

Long overdue

This government is not serious at all. Lagos-Ibadan expressway has ALWAYS been a good road from time immemorial.

Why not channel the energy and resources towards developing or constructing other roads?

Igbos always wailing, why

" GEJ has paid for it since 1469"


" Same kilometres of road cost 80% less in Tanzania."



"Road that rain will soon wash away"
