Nightmare motorists and commuters experience daily on the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway may end soon as President Goodluck Jonathan will on Friday flag-off the reconstruction of the road.

The Federal Government earlier in the year terminated the concessioning of the 178km road granted to Bi- Courtney Highway Services Limited.

Government had said the company failed to honour the terms of the concession agreement.

A fresh contract for the reconstruction of the expressway was subsequently awarded to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for the Lagos – Sagamu interchange end of the road, while RCC Nigeria Limited is to handle the Sagamu – Ibadan axis.

The Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, disclosed the planned flag-off by the President yesterday at a meeting with a delegation of the Association of Luxury Bus Owners of Nigeria, ALBON.

Onolememen explained that the project had been awarded, adding that the government was ready to see it completed in record time.

He said: “You talked about the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway project and you know that it has been awarded and work will soon commence on it.
