The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has said he will visit the Benin-Asaba road on Tuesday following widespread complaints, protests and severe gridlock caused by the deteriorating condition of the federal highway.
Umahi disclosed this during the flag-off ceremony for the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road, according to a video shared on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze.
The minister said he would meet with independent engineers, the concessionaire handling the project and the state government to find a solution to the worsening situation.
“Tomorrow, we are off to Benin-Asaba. I want Nigerians to be assured that when we get there, we’ll solve that problem,” Umahi said.
