Lagos-Ibadan expressway: FG owes contractors N18bn, road ready Nov
The Federal Government says the Lagos-Ibadan expressway project may be delivered next month (November).
This is coming years after reconstruction work began on the busy route.
Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, gave the November delivery date during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
He identified funding as a major challenge facing the project, adding that his ministry would soon approach President Bola Tinubu for intervention.
“Let’s give it November,” Umahi said. “We may have a little bit of challenges on funding but it is something that I intend to discuss with Mr President,” he added.
The minister said, “The funding is coming from the PIDF – Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund – programme.
“Right now, we have a balance of N18 billion on that axis to pay. The stringent condition is that you cannot take funds that are meant for one project to do the other one.”
According to him, the completion of the project will come from the initiative of President Tinubu.
