The Managing Director of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, Mr Nurudeen Rafindadi, on Wednesday, assured motorists of speedy completion of repairs on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

Rafindadi gave the assurance during the start of the general maintenance of the Lagos-Badagry-Seme dual carriageway, Okokomaiko-Agbara sections at Igbo-Elerin on the highway.

He said that the government awarded the contract in May and was committed to making the portion under contract from Igbo-elerin to Agbara junction motorable.

He said that both the Federal Government and the Lagos State Government were doing repairs of the highway simultaneously from three sections to reduce hardship on the road.

“From Eric Moore to this point is being handled by Lagos State Government. The second section which is the middle section is from this point.

“For the next 12 km, FERMA will be doing repair maintenance works on the road and we should be done with it within the next six months to one year,’’ he said.

He said that the Federal Ministry of Works was also working on the third section of the highway from Agbara to Seme border.

He assured of strict supervision of the rehabilitation works, saying that the contractor was on the ground and ready to quickly complete the work.

Rafindadi said that the contract sum was about N3.6 billion. He said that measures were in place to ensure that the rainy season does not affect construction works.

He said that there was synergy between the agency, traffic regulatory agencies and the state government to ease gridlock while the repairs lasted.

He said that the Federal Government also had plans to remodel the section but was working on modalities for the relocation of gas pipelines, communication cables and other utilities in the Right of Way portion of the project.
