Speaking with journalists after inspecting a stretch of the road, director, Federal Ministry of Works, Southwest, Adedamola Kuti said the government decided to remove the barricades causing gridlock on the road ahead of December 15th earlier announced to allow travellers to ply the road with ease.

Kuti, who said construction works would continue in January 2023, assured that the project would be completed by 30th of March, 2023.

As part of our ember month programmes, there was an announcement we made before that all barriers at road construction sites will be removed by 15 of December to allow for free movement during this season.  So on Lagos-Ibadan, we have already attained a level to which we can allow those barriers to be removed, so rather than waiting till Thursday, 15th December, just as we did at the other section from the old toll gate up to Otedola Bridge, which we opened for traffic last week, we have also completed this stretch to a level where we can allow movement.

‘’You will also observed that the construction work has not been completed, it is still work in progress but because of the season we are in rather us opening up new sections on the roads that cannot be completed before Thursday, we decided to allow for movement so that people can travel during this Christmas period till January after the New Year holidays when we shall resume back our work.
