The Oyo State government said it was not responsible for the non-completion of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway project as claimed by Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing.
The minister made the statement at the inaugural edition of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Administration Scorecard 2015-2023 Series, organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture. “We do not want to finish the road and come back to destroy it for the drainage channel construction,” he had said.Reacting, Mr Olatunbosun said it was imperative to set records straight as a government committed to ensuring that the good people of Oyo State enjoy the dividends of good governance.
“We were advised to make sure that the diversion routes are completed before embarking on the diversion. We complied 100 per cent. He said if the Minister had reached out to the state government, they would have told him that the contract for work on the dualisation of Agodi-Gate- Old-Ife Road-Adegbayi Junction, including an underpass interface with the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway at Onipepeye, had to be terminated at 60 per cent in September.
