Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and 2nd Niger Bridge Will be Completed by 2022 – Fashola

Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, have said the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Second Niger Bridge, and the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway, among others, will be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

He said the road constructions were grouped as essential infrastructure and projected to be delivered in less than two years.

In a live television programme in Abuja, Fashola said “The Second Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano roads are part of the projects under the Federal Government’s essential infrastructure development fund and their expected delivery dates are in quarter one of 2022.”

The minister, who argued that real construction work only commenced on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when the Buhari government came to power, said, “Since 2007, no measure of reasonable construction work took place on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, except palliatives. It was when this government came that construction really started.

“Those who don’t use the road will not appreciate what is going on there, but those who use the road on a daily basis for their survival will tell you that the bottlenecks and traffic time on that road had significantly reduced.”

When told that the initial plan was to deliver the road next year, the minister said about one year was lost in the construction process.

He said, “That was the plan and you know that we’ve lost almost a year of work and I complained at the time when the budget for that road was reduced from N31bn to N10bn, at the time we were owing the contractors N15bn.

“Essentially, no work was done in that year 2017 because the contractors specifically stopped work.”

The minister insisted that the first quarter of 2022 remained the expected delivery date for the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and other essential infrastructure projects, but noted that the COVID-19 pandemic had slowed work on some of the projects.

For the Second Niger Bridge, he said all the foundation works had been completed, adding that the project was on course to meet the expected delivery date.
