“On section four, we have achieved about 20 per cent completion,’’ he said.”
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari flagged off the N73 billion project in November 2018 to address gridlock on the axis, promising to deliver it in two years.
“On section one here, we have achieved about 22 per cent completion and on section three, it is about 55 per cent.On the completion date, the controller quoted the Minister, Mr Babatunde Fashola, as saying “it is still November this year’’. The controller said that because of the huge vehicular and axle load on Apapa roads, the design was made to have iron rods as reinforcement to make the road stronger than normal asphaltic roads.
The controller also inspected section four, which is about 10.5 kilometres and spans from Anthony Village to Old Toll Gate.“Section two, which spans from Beachland to Cele bus stop, is not part of this contract, but it is being processed and very soon, work will begin there.While inspecting section four, Popoola said that the team had gone round Tin Can Island Port, Liverpool Road and various sections and subsections of the highway.
During an inspection of the 2.7 kilometres segment on section one B, Mr Ashton Davies, the Project Manager, Hitech subcontractors on the project, said that the technology used ensured continuity.
