The Minister of Works, Power and Housing,
Mr Babatunde Fashola, has said that there is
no respite yet for the Federal Government
until Nigerians are happy with the state of
our roads comparable to the best
infrastructural facilities available anywhere
in the world.
To this end, he expressed President
Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to ease
people’s sufferings through the
government’s unwavering commitment to
the construction of quality roads that can
stand the test of time.
Fashola stated this during an unscheduled
inspection of the ongoing construction of
section two of Oyo-Ogbomoso road in Oyo
state. He was accompanied on the tour by
the state Federal Works Controller, Mr. Anya
Omorekpe, and other top government
officials.
He expressed happiness that work has
commenced on the road after three years of
abandonment due to lack of funding to the
contractor; Reynolds Construction Company.
Fashola appealed to the contractor handling
the project to employ artisans in order to
plough back to the economy.
He equally urged truck drivers and others
who park indiscriminately on highways to
desist to enhance free flow of traffic on the
nation’s roads or risk forceful ejection and
appropriate sanctions.
