The Federal Government has begun emergency repairs on the Lagos-Sango-Otta-Abeokuta road, a deteriorating 7km stretch of a crucial route.
This was announced in a statement on Wednesday, signed by the Special Adviser Media to the Minister of Works, Uchenna Orji.
Orji noted the government’s commitment to addressing the pressing infrastructure issues affecting commuters.
“The road has been bad for some time, and the Federal Ministry of Works is bringing relief on the dilapidated sections in conjunction with the concessionaire,” he said.
According to him, the repair initiative is part of a broader strategy under the ‘Operation Free Our Roads’ program, aimed at enhancing the condition of federal roadways across the nation.
Orji stated, “The Federal Ministry of Works under the watch of His Excellency, Sen. Engr. Nweze David Umahi CON, is committed to providing relief to motorists and commuters on all the federal roads nationwide.”
He noted that motorists and residents have long expressed frustration over the road’s condition, which has led to increased travel times and safety concerns.
