IBADAN—THE Federal Government has been urged to fix the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and save people from avoidable deaths and sufferings.

This plea was made by the Managing Director of Megamound  Nigeria Limited, Otunba Olumide Osunsina, at the inauguration of the new executives and fund raising of Ibadan Recreation Club.

Otunba Osunsina noted that the expressway had turned into an “eyesore. As  at today, lives are being unwarrantedly  lost on that road, business activities are seriously hamperred and it has become very strenous to commute between Lagos and Ibadan.”

He lamented that the  state of the expressway had negatively affected the economy of Oyo State, as people who used to flood the state especially for business and social engagements, were no longer finding it attractive.

Otunba Osunsina challenged the elite to support the government in its bid to provide infrastucture and other ammenities, saying “All of us sitting here can do it, if we decide to do it, so let us all decide now to get it done to make life better for our people.

If that road is done, people can stay in Ibadan and work in Lagos. Investors from Lagos can also move into Ibadan to build houses and also invest in the economy, it will also boost trade within the South-West geo-political zone.”
