The president, who unveiled the plaque and cut the tape to inaugurate the project, was accompanied by Governor Ibikunle Amosu of Ogun, Gov. Ambode of Lagos State, Governor-Elect, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, among other politicians.
Some road users in Lagos expressed joy as the president inaugurated the road, which they noted would ease gridlock as well as boost Nigeria’s image and dignity. A freight forwarder, Mr. Babatunde Owolabi, told NAN that the new road would reduce travel time and enhance business activities in Lagos. Mr. John Goodnews, a tricycle operator, who plies the Airport Road, commended the federal and Lagos state governments for the new lease of life, saying that the road would remove gridlock and improve security on the axis.
A vulcanizer at Seven and Eight bus stop on Airport Road, Mr Nuru Taiye joined Mr Sunday Udoh, a commercial motorcycle operator on the Airport Road axis to commend the additional lanes which they noted would ease usual gridlock often associated with the road. “The basic features of the road which is in compliance with international standards is that it has three main carriageways, two service lanes on either sides of the road.” he said.
