Group deplores slow pace of work on Oshodi-Apapa expressway

Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, has condemned the snail speed at which Julius Berger was undertaking repair of dilapidated Apapa-Oshodi expressway, in Lagos.
The group noted that the construction company was deliberately making life difficult for road users, by the way it was handling the construction work.
It also faulted the Federal and Lagos State Governments for abandoning the road, until it became a source of misery for Lagosians.
Chairman of CACOL, Mr Debo Adeniran, berated Julius Berger for displaying unseriousness towards the road, which leads to the nation’s busiest seaport, adding that while the construction company was supposed to work 24 hours on the road, and mostly at night, as is the practice in developed societies, it chose to work during the day and when traffic is heaviest.
Adeniran said, “the unmotorable state of most link roads on Oshodi/Apapa expressway, made the exit routs difficult from the expressway, thereby congesting the road with so much vehicles, which exert too much pressure on the road, resulting in the worn out state of the expressway.”
