Ondo  state Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko has described the flag off on Friday, of the reconstruction of the  Lagos –Ibadan Expressway by President Goodluck Jonathan  as an evidence of the government’s sensitivity  and demonstration of its good and noble intentions.

President Goodluck had on Friday flagged off the reconstruction project  which will gulp N167 billion with the declaration that it  will be delivered by year 2017,  though there  are indications that it may be delivered 30 months, ahead of the scheduled period.

Commending the Federal government’s decision to reconstruct the road adjudged the  busiest  in Africa, Dr Mimiko, in a statement by his Commissioner for Information, Mr Kayode Akinmade, issued in Akure yesterday said  generation unborn will remain grateful to the Jonathan Goodluck led administration for  taking the bull by the horn as regard the total overhauling of the road which has overtime become a dead trap.

“This step is indeed noble and the name of this administration as no doubt been written in gold for taking the bull by the horn and ensuring a lasting solution is found to the dead trap called Lagos Ibadan Express way.

“Quite a number of lives have been wasted on this  road because of its bad  state and at last, President Goodluck has provided the solution that hitherto seemed elusive to make the road safe for use.”
