RCCG repairs Lagos-Ibadan expressway

-

The Redeemed Christian Church of God has risen to the
rescue of users of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as it
undertook the repair of the Arepo and Warewa ends of
the road on Wednesday.
The development has eased traffic on the expressway
inward Ogun State but the situation remains unchanged
on the other side of the road, inward Lagos State.
An official in the media department of the RCCG
confirmed the development to our correspondent on the
telephone, adding that the church had plans for more
palliatives.
The officer, who asked not to be named, said the church
was moved by the cries of users of the road and
deployed a team to assess the situation on Tuesday.
She said, “We sent some of our men to go and see what
was going on and assess the situation. They returned
and gave a report so we deployed some trucks of granite
to the place and they used them to fill up the potholes.
“We are not going to stop at that. We also plan to fill up
the Lotto area of Mowe, because traffic usually builds up
there as well. We will do this before our next congress.”
Our correspondent, however, observed some trucks and
caterpillars belonging to the Ogun State Ministry of
Works clearing the drainage.
An official, who asked not to be named, said the clearing
was to allow for a smooth passage of water, adding that
it had nothing to do with road construction.
He said, “We are not in charge of road construction and
it is not our duty to do it. You should go and ask Julius
Berger Construction Company what they are doing about
the road.
“We have been working since yesterday (Tuesday) and
we are just trying to clear the drainage which we believe
has been responsible for the flooding on the road. We
are doing this to ease the traffic, especially for residents
of Ogun State who are always faced with traffic
congestion.”
It was also observed that a 40-foot container conveying
millet to Lagos had an accident around the Arepo area
and fell on the median.
Some men were seen evacuating its content into another
truck, which was parked by the roadside.
One of the workers said, “The accident happened very
early in the morning as the vehicle was heading to
Lagos. As you can see, it was conveying bags of millet.
Nobody was injured.”
Policemen from the Warewa police post and officials of
the Federal Road Safety Corps were observed by
Newsmen directing the traffic from the accident scene.
The Sector Commander, FRSC, Ogun State, Mr. Adegoke
Adetunji, said he would call back, but he had yet to do
so as of the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle
Amosun, inspected the palliative work on the
expressway in the wee hours of Wednesday.
Amosun said that the development became imperative in
view of the importance of the road to socio-economic
development of the country.
According to Governor Amosun, the palliative measure,
being put in place is expected to last for about a month
and repair works would be done mainly at night.
He, however, appealed to road users to show
understanding and bear with the government, pending
the time the palliative measure would be carried out.
