The Federal Government has given the Lagos State Government the go ahead to carry out total reconstruction of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road from Oshodi that estimated to cost about N2 billion.
This was revealed in statement issued yesterday by the Secretary to the Lagos State Government, Mr Tunji Bello. He said the state currently has a design of 10 lanes to come from Oshodi to the International Airport with interchange and flyover that would drop you towards the Local Airport.
Lagos State also assured that once given approval, it will begin construction of the Airport Road within two weeks and finish same within a period of six months.
“The road linking Oshodi to the International Airport, you would all agree with me is a national embarrassment. In the spirit of the regeneration and urbanization that this administration has set out to achieve, we believe strongly that the image that is exhumed by the decadence of that road must be repaired and we took it upon ourselves to appropriate the 2017 budget that the House of Assembly should approve the total reconstruction of the Airport Road from Oshodi to the International Airport,” The state governor said.
