The Nigerian Government says it has suspended construction on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Olukorede Kesha, made this known in a statement on Monday.
According to Kesha, the action was prompted by a recent heavy traffic flow on the Lagos-Shagamu route in the last couple of days.

“Due to the recent heavy traffic flow being experienced on the Lagos Shagamu route in the last couple of days, the inclement weather conditions, the forthcoming Eid Kabir and the advice of the traffic management team deployed to manage traffic-related issues on the project, construction activities on this ever-busy and very important highway will be suspended from Tuesday, 27th of June to Sunday, 2nd of July, 2023.
“This is to allow travellers easy passage during the Eid holiday & minimise the discomfort during this very important period,” Kesha said.
