| Benin-Ofosu road under construction |
The Federal Ministry of
Works said the reconstruction of the Benin-Ofosu end of the
Benin-Ore-Shagamu-Lagos Dual Carriageway will be delivered before the end of
2013.
This disclosure was
made by the Minister of Works, Arc. Mike Onolememen while conveying the
National Good Governance Tour Team, led by the Minister of Information, Labaran
Maku, on inspection tour of the road from Benin City.
According to him, the
road which begins from Kilometre Zero (Km 0) on Dawson Road in Benin City was
awarded to Messrs. Reynolds Construction Company Limited and is 91.30 per cent
completed.
The road which is
75.87km in length forms part of the Transnational Highway that leads to the
Atlantic City of Lagos and links Nigeria to Mombasa in Kenya.
“The reconstruction
work achieved so far on this road, has reduced travel time of commuters from
about 10 hours to 4 hours as they travel from Lagos to Benin and vice versa. It
has also reduced the carnage and loss of properties on this route,” Onolememen
said.
The Minister recalled
that the reconstruction work forms part of the 1,000km of reconstructed Federal
Highways added to the Federal Highway network in 2012 by the Federal Ministry
of Works.
On his part, the
Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, noted that the efforts of the
Federal Ministry of Works forms part of the agenda of the present
administration to transform the road sector and deliver safe and good motorable
