The Sagamu - Lagos end of the Lagos - Ibadan Expressway project will be completed by 2021, the contractor , Julius Berger, has said .

The Operations Manager, Julius Berger, Thamm Olaf, told the Senate Committee on Works, led by its Chairman , Kabiru Gaya , on Sunday, that the project, which was to be completed in 2017 , was stalled due to paucity of funds and the recent expansion.

Gaya and other of the committee, who were on an oversight visit to road projects in Lagos , however , stated that they were not happy about the slow pace of the work, despite the efforts and funds that had been put into it .

He said the Federal Government had spent a lot of money on the road and others across the country and had moved cost of road infrastructure from N 500bn to 600 bn in the 2019 budget to accommodate more road construction.

“The project is good as it will take care of traffic but we are not happy with the speed and so we expect the contractor to increase the pace of work , even though there were amendments on the road ,” he said .

Gaya also told journalists that the contractor of the Tin Can Island Truck Park , Borini Prono, had said that the project, expected to ease traffic congestion around Apapa Wharf, would be completed in December.
He said the project had reached 97 per cent completion while construction of the shoreline , recently added to protect the park , had commenced.
He said , “ When we visited this site in 2015 , the construction was less than 70 per cent ; now it is 97 per cent because money has been paid and we insist that it must be finished by December.

“We have also said that the facilities are not good enough for a trailer park ; there should be more toilets , restaurant and even a small clinic. ”
The committee also inspected the Apapa Wharf Road , a two- kilometre concrete road being constructed by AG Dangote and expected to be completed before the end of the year; the Leventis Bridge , which is expected to be completed by Julius Berger by the first quarter of 2019 ; and the Third Mainland Bridge , which would be partially closed in 2019 for rehabilitation.

Other roads inspected during the tour were the Ikorodu- Sagamu Road being handled by Arab Contractors with a completion date of 2021, and the 1.5 km NNPC Mosimi Access Road , which had been stalled by a debt of N1bn.

Although the Lagos - Badagry Road project was not inspected, the Federal Controller of Works, Adedamola Kuti, however, stated that the Federal Executive Council had re -awarded the contract and work would commence soon.

Not as bad as this;:65% of the work has been done by 2015. For close to 3 years Julius Berger has been around Arepo-Ibafo-Aseese and the road management is nil; causing untold hardship and deaths!

What is the length of the remaining portion?

Does that mean that the Lagos-Ibadan railway will be completed in 2035?

You applauded Saraki when he boasted publicly about cutting N30billion from the roads budget. So, you expect Julius Berger to construct the road without prompt payment? Oga, you can eat your cake and still have it. PDP and Saraki played good politics with the road, the ordinary people will have to suffer for it. Next time when politicians are playing with what benefits us, we will all take up arms against them.

The Buhari Govt has failed in every conceivable way known to man.

2021?!!

You are addressing the wrong fellow; please mention when I did that. FG is just playing kite with this road. Julius Berger has been at Aseese junction for more than 6 months now. Has the 2018 budget being implemented now sir?

They will just keep on posting us!

Nawa ooo. Keep playing politics with people's lives

This is pure politics

It means don't expect any result now

No thanks to the useless thieves in the senate chamber led by Saraki.
