No Zone is Left out in the Ongoing Road Project(Read more)

Hello There,,
Here is the news in Brief👇👇

Mr. Funsho Adebiyi, Director, Highways, Southwest, Federal Ministry of Works, Power and Housing, said this on Saturday in Ibadan while addressing newsmen after an inspection tour of Federal roads across the Southwest states.

Adebiyi refuted insinuations that the Presidency was paying more attention to roads in the Northern region than the Southern states.

The government spreads out road projects in such a way that no zone has been left out.

Sukuk bond and other funds made available for road projects were shared equally among the six geopolitical zones, but differences in topography, soil condition and other things in the North and South make it look as if the government is constructing more roads in the Northern zone.

For instance, funds that can be expended on 100 kilometers road in places like Borno or Kastina may not complete 10 or 15 kilometers in Bayelsa state, he said.

According to him, every state in the southwest presently has the presence of the federal government as regards road rehabilitation and construction of new ones.

In fact, the entire country has never had it so good in the area of road infrastructure.
Among the ongoing road projects are Lagos -Ibadan sections I and II, handled by Julius Berger Construction Company and Reynolds Construction Company (RCC), respectively.

Others are the new Oyo Ogbomosho road dualization, being handled by RCC, and the Ogbomosho -Oko-Osogbo road, being handled by Dutum Construction company.

We still have the Ila Orangun -Ora-Ilale Ekan Meje road; Efon Alaaye Erinmo Iwaraja road; Ibadan -Abeokuta road, handled by Kopek Construction Company, and the Shagamu Ore road, handled by RCC, he said.


The Highway Director said the level of work done so far on the roads inspected were of high quality and capable of standing the test of time.
