Will Lagos-ibadan Expressway Ever Be Completed? by qwenu(op): 3:30pm On Dec 21, 2018
The Lagos-Ibadan expressway is one of the major federal roads, not just because it runs through three states – Lagos, Ogun and Oyo. It is also the transport route for agricultural produce from the South West to the nation’s commercial hub. Despite its value that touches on commuters’ transportation and business, the road has been in a dilapidated condition for almost a decade now.

Successive administrations always name it as integral on their list of proposed capital projects, but years down the line, there is no improvement, In fact, the road is only getting worse. Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan launched the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in 2013, which was to gulp ₦167 billion. That was even after years of neglect and government inaction https://qwenu.com/2018/12/20/will-lagos-ibadan-expressway-ever-be-completed/

It will surely be completed but when? Only the FG knows. However, simple deduction should tell one that the railway is a more priority project than the road. The two projects cannot be pursued at the same pace
