FG orders contractor to stop work on Sagamu-Iperu road in Ogun
The Federal Government yesterday issued a stop work order on the 12-kilometre Sagamu-Iperu Road by the Sagamu Interchange on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Works Minister David Umahi gave the directive during an inspection tour of ongoing federal road projects in Lagos and Ogun states.
He expressed displeasure at the quality and speed of work on the road.
The minister gave a seven-day ultimatum to the contractor handling the project to remedy the default and remove the stone base.

Umahi also directed the contractor to bring in the right milling machine and the right mixture of stone base. He directed the contractor to speed up the work.
The minister said that the contractor had all the ramps and retaining walls on some bridges, adding that some of the piers on the bridges had rusted rods.
The minister warned: “That is very dangerous; I am giving seven days; I am leaving behind the design head so that they can work till Sunday to come up with a comprehensive drawing and then costing, so that I can appeal to Mr. President.
“This is very urgent. If any of them should collapse, it will take multi-billion naira to get them reconstructed, but now, it will take less to get them amended”.
