The Minister of Works, Chief Mike Onolememen, has debunked reports that the contract for the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has been withdrawn from Bi-Courtney.
Onolememen said: “That report is news to me.
“It is a rumour making the rounds.
“I am oblivious of that information.
“What I can say is that the Federal Government through the Ministry of Works is determined to ensure full rehabilitation of that road.
“It is a task that we must deliver.
“We are engaging the concessionaires and the engagement still on.
“I can assure you that immediately after the rain, the jobs will be done.
“We are committed to doing that.
“Once the final action plans are raised, we will let Nigerians know.”
