Our attention has been drawn to a report titled, Gridlock: RCCG Repairs Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, published on page 5 of the Punch newspapers of Thursday, November 5, 2015. The report, quoting an unnamed source at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, had claimed that the ongoing palliative work being done on some bad portions of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was being handled by the revered church. Contrary to that claim however, I will like to state that the ongoing palliative work on the Lagos Ibadan expressway is being handled by the Ogun State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure. Concerned about the plight of commuters on the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the Ogun State Government, on Tuesday, embarked on palliative work on some bad portions of the expressway. Not minding the fact that it is a federal road, Governor Ibikunle Amosun, worried about the plight of commuters who spend hours in traffic gridlock on the road, directed the state Ministry of Works and infrastructure to immediately fix the bad portions of the road and also construct drainages. In giving the directive, the governor was particularly concerned about the need to immediately bring relieve to the road users especially as the Redeemed Christian Church of God and other churches on the ever busy road are also billed to hold events that will attract millions of worshippers this weekend. Speaking during an inspection tour of the ongoing palliative work being carried out by the Ogun State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure on the federal road at about 1 am on Wednesday, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun State Governor said, “In the real sense of it and for me there are no federal people, the people plying this road and other affected Federal roads within our axis are our people. We are all Nigerians and we are already collaborating with the Federal government to contribute our own quota to ensure that this road is fixed.” It is surprising, therefore, for any journalist to claim that the multi- million naira job being carried out by the Ogun State government is being done by a religious organisation. The intervention job on the ever busy expressway is an initiative of the Ogun State government to rescue millions of Nigerians who spend hours in the gridlock occasioned by some bad portions of the road. It is also on record that the Ogun State government had carried out similar palliative measures on the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, Sagamu-Ogijo-Ikorodu road and other federal roads within the state, because the state is strategically located in such a way that goods and passengers going to all other parts of the country have to pass through the gateway state.

This is a pure lie

I just passed there and I saw it with my korokoro eyes.

"korokoro eyes" witness account is for the 90s .... Now we need pictures ....

Sweetguy25:
Only in Nigeria. A non governmental organisation undertakes the construction of a federal highway because the federal government is inept and unconcerned about the plight of its citizenry.

lawanson44:
So a road which GEJ was working on befor South Wasterners and their masters voted him out is now being repaired by a CHURCH whom the Commissioner of Nigeria in Aso Rock Osunbande attends...

MORAL: Buhari decided to run for Presidency just to detect the number of people who were as BRAINLESS as him and the result he got was OVERWHELMING! A HUGE 95%

Our attention has been drawn to a
report titled, Gridlock: RCCG
Repairs Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,
published on page 5 of the Punch
newspapers of Thursday, November
5, 2015.
The report, quoting an unnamed
source at the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, had claimed
that the ongoing palliative work
being done on some bad portions
of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
was being handled by the revered
church.
Contrary to that claim however, I
will like to state that the ongoing
palliative work on the Lagos
Ibadan expressway is being
handled by the Ogun State Ministry
of Works and Infrastructure.
Concerned about the plight of
commuters on the ever busy
Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the
Ogun State Government, on
Tuesday, embarked on palliative
work on some bad portions of the
expressway.
Not minding the fact that it is a
federal road, Governor Ibikunle
Amosun, worried about the plight
of commuters who spend hours in
traffic gridlock on the road,
directed the state Ministry of
Works and infrastructure to
immediately fix the bad portions of
the road and also construct
drainages.
In giving the directive, the
governor was particularly
concerned about the need to
immediately bring relieve to the
road users especially as the
Redeemed Christian Church of God
and other churches on the ever
busy road are also billed to hold
events that will attract millions of
worshippers this weekend.
Speaking during an inspection tour
of the ongoing palliative work
being carried out by the Ogun
State Ministry of Works and
Infrastructure on the federal road
at about 1 am on Wednesday,
Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun
State Governor said, “In the real
sense of it and for me there are no
federal people, the people plying
this road and other affected
Federal roads within our axis are
our people.
We are all Nigerians and we are
already collaborating with the
Federal government to contribute
our own quota to ensure that this
road is fixed.”
It is surprising, therefore, for any
journalist to claim that the multi-
million naira job being carried out
by the Ogun State government is

Mynd44:
The same road Hero awarded the contract for it to be fixed for almost 2 years and even used it in his campaign?

Great work Redeem, I hope other churches/companies of that axis will fix the one closed to them

social responsibility

Promhize:
That photo is wrong and misleading. The headline is misleading. You bloggers in Nigeria should have the fear of God, rubbishing others handwork for your gain (to get traffic). Karma is real.

I wonder what the jobs of mods are on NL, Nairaland is being run like a garage, and to think Nairaland is the Reddit of Nigeria. Looks like oga seun and all NL employees are on permanent leave.
