The Federal Government on Thursday began the reconstruction and expansion of the Sango, Ota/Idiroko Expressway.

Several buildings marked for demolition are currently being pulled down to pave the way for the expansion of the deplorable 64-kilometre Ota-Idiroko Road.

A source living in the area told our correspondent in a WhatsApp chat that landlords and tenants whose buildings were marked for demolition were helpless when the demolition started.

“That is what is happening now at Oju-ore, Ota towards the border. Most buildings are going down from the Oju-Ore to Owode-Atan to the Idiroko border. The Federal Government has started the expansion and reconstruction of the road,” the source told our correspondent.

The PUNCH reports that the National Association of Ogun State Students on Monday appealed to the Federal Government to take urgent steps towards reconstructing the completely collapsed Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta expressway.

The students particularly called on the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, to urgently activate all necessary machinery towards ensuring that his promised Federal Government’s intervention in rehabilitating the expressway materialised.

The National President of NAOSS, Kehinde Thomas, made this call on Monday in a statement made available to journalists in the state.
