It is also the major route to the northern, southern and eastern parts of Nigeria. 4. The Lagos–Ibadan Expressway is the oldest in Nigeria. It was commissioned in August 1978 during the military administration of Major-General Olusegun Obasanjo. 5. This expressway is the busiest inter-state route in Nigeria and handles more than 250,000 Passenger Car Unit (PCU) daily and constitutes one of the largest road networks in Africa. 6. It is part of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency(FERMA) projects, concerned with road improvement and connectivity between the States of Nigeria. 7. The reconstruction of the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway was flagged off on July 2013 by Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. 8. The contract was awarded to Julius Berger Nigeriaand Reynolds Construction Company Limited at a sum of 167 billion Naira, equivalent to $838,986,290. 9. Two sections of the expressway will be reconstructed and this includes Section I (Lagos to Sagamu Interchange) and section II (Sagamu Interchange to Ibadan). 10. The reconstruction of the road had 2017 as the initial completion date but it was later moved to end of 2018/early 2019 by the Mohammadu Buhari-led government as a result of the increase in scope of work.

11. The road has forever remained "inconclusive". Every government would always have a reason to spend billions on that road even when the previous government had also spent billions yet it will always be remain a work in progress. 69 Likes 1 Share |

I was discussing with a friend last month and he asked me where I base and I said along Lagos-ibadan expressway way, he said whoa that road , the first time he came and relocated to Lagos 18 years ago he still remember the traffic he experienced on that road and he was told it was due to reconstruction going on and now that he has gone to school finished his degree and started work, about to marry they are still reconstructing the road when will they ever finish that road? Are you planning to do a roof parapet? Check out details of our polystyrene parapet installation, it is light, fast to install and durable. Prefect for land which doesn't much loads and renovation works. Click below https://www.nairaland.com/3726763/alternative-building-material-expanded-polystyrene/6 7 Likes

AutoJoshNG: You are not telling us how PDP started milking us with the expansion project running in the budget from 2003 till 2015. How the expansion took them 13 years with 100 of billions down the drain for a projected that was started and completed in just 3 years in 1975-78. Just like that of second niger bridge . we will never forget so soon. 3 Likes |
