FG REMOVES BARRIERS ON THE LAGOS-IBADAN EXPRESSWAY

Barriers on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway have been removed by the FG, which reliefs residents and drivers

After months of agonizing traffic headaches, commuters and drivers on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway yesterday enjoyed a little reprieve after barriers on the route were removed.

Since Section One of the highway began to be rebuilt roughly four months ago, the ensuing bottleneck has resisted all efforts by the relevant authorities.

Drivers and residents of border areas between Ogun and Lagos have consequently connected early deaths among them to the stress they experience every day in traffic.

Additionally, many homeowners in areas like Mowe, Pakuro, Aseese, Ibafa, Magboro, and Arepo who could not handle the stress left their homes and rented smaller apartments in urban centers.

Aside from the ongoing traffic and accidents, many people have been abducted or had their possessions stolen, and others who took the risk of traveling on the nearby earth road have had painful experiences.
