Federal Government will take a final decision on the concessioning of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway next week.
The expressway had earlier been concessioned to Bi-Courtney Highway Services.
However, years after the concessioning,
work has not started on the road, which daily claims lives through auto
crashes and robberies.
The situation led to the call by
stakeholders, including Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, and other
South-West governors to call for the revocation of the concession
agreement.
Speaking with State House correspondents
on Thursday after making a presentation to President Goodluck Jonathan
on the budget performance of his ministry, Minister of Works, Mr. Mike
Onolememen, said government would take a decision on the road because of
its importance to the economy.
