During an inspection of the highway, on Wednesday, in Lagos, Popoola said that the road had achieved varied proportions of completion levels on different sections. “On section one here, we have achieved about 22 per cent completion and on section three, it is about 55 per cent. On the completion date, the controller quoted the Minister, Mr Babatunde Fashola, as saying “it is still November this year’’. While inspecting section one of the project, Popoola said “we are carrying out purification; which means, we removed the existing asphaltic concrete, add the stone base and now lay it’’. Also, Mr Gafar Olakunle, a truck driver that plies the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, commended the quality of work being done.
