The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, says the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and Second Niger Bridge projects will be delivered before December 25, 2022.

Fashola stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

He reiterated Federal Government’s commitment to delivering infrastructural projects to Nigerians and commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s efforts in delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

When asked when the project will be completed, the Minister said the Federal Government plans to deliver the project before Christmas.

“People used to do a one-week trip for a whole day so that is progress. We plan to finish this year,” the minister said on Lagos -Ibadan expressway.

Fashola, also said that toll gates will return to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway upon completion of the rehabilitation of the highway.

He said about three toll plazas were expected on the highway after all works on the expressway have been completed.

Fashola noted that at least a toll gate is expected in the Lagos, Ogun (Ogere) and Ibadan axis of the expressway when completed.

Fashola, however, said that the government is waiting for the Oyo State Government to play its role to aid the speedy completion of the project.

“It is less than two hours now to go to Ibadan, you can do Ibadan and come back twice a day now and we haven’t finished. We don’t want to finish and the road is open again.

“If you see, the lane marking is already going on, the road furniture is simultaneously being installed road marking is going on and we are waiting for Oyo State.

“Governor Makinde and I will resolve that pretty soon,” he stated.

Speaking further on the
Second Niger Bridge, Fashola said the plan is to open the bridge before Christmas, despite the challenges facing the project.

According to him, the contractor has been directed to see that the project is delivered before the deadline.

He said that the main bridge deck has been completed.
