The Benin-Ore expressway is one of Nigeria’s most traveled roads. Daily, hundreds of thousands of Nigerians ply this economically crucial highway.

This highway primarily connects states of the South-West to states in the South-South, South-East and the Middle belt.

For decades, this stretch of road that is part of the Lagos-Benin Expressway was notorious for its atrocious condition and the neglect by successive Governments.

Sometime in 2007, on account of the disgraceful condition of this Federal road, a one-time Minister of Transportation famously wept during a visit to a failed section of the road. The Minister also apologized to Nigerians for what she then described as the “inhuman and unacceptable” state of the road.

Thankfully, intervention eventually surfaced.

In 2014, the reconstruction of the Benin-Ore section of the Lagos-Benin Expressway was completed.

See the before (2009) and after (2019) photos of the Benin-Ore Expressway.

I'm beginning to believe sarri and co. brother's about bubu

Nice .....i think we should have a 2years challenge to check and see how well our government are performing

Ok

Jonathan tried!

Those posting sai narma Buhari above me, get sense please.

4+0 = back to Daura.

Only the progressives will see this good transformation but let's wait for our blodas from the other side of the river.

I didn't mention any name ooo

Interesting

God bless Goodluck Jonathan. The best President Nigeria ever had

on point

God bless GEJ. Buhari till 2023!

God bless any govt that has transformed the road.

After now they will say GEJ did not do anything in office, he was just looting the treasury. Well most Nigerians are used to that line now. God bless GEJ

Kudos to gej

GEJ project. Aside corruption, GEJ is the best president Nigeria experienced.

wailers over to you

GEJ PDP initiated and completed project

Pilot to Tower: Flight "Jonathan did it" landing in 2200 hrs on this thread. Seeking clearance to land

Tower to Pilot: You are cleared to land , Flight "Jonathan did it". Operations, clear the runway

Chai! Sai Baba monkeys didn't know it was done by Jonathan's administration.

I believe this cos I ply that route

no wonder robbers find it so easy to rob on Nigerian highways. interstate road with just 4 lanes why not 6 or 8?

Now,this,I can relate to.its quite commendable,the level of construction done so far.although I am most often,not so loud a supporter of this government, I must give credence to them,for this development.

Completed in 2014
Thank you GEJ

Bros, it seems like u didn't read the post above and sure you have never travel through this road before.
The road was overhauled and reconstructed under Jonathan adminstration. Next time, read before you comment. And another important thing for you; start traveling out of your hood so that you can know places.

Traveling is part of learning
