The Presidency has described the recent failure on the Benin-Agbor-Asaba Expressway as an isolated incident, saying the Federal Government responded swiftly by deploying key stakeholders to the affected section and demanding immediate action from the contractor.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, stated this on Channels Television on Wednesday while reacting to the condition of the highway and President Bola Tinubu’s directive for its redesign and total reconstruction.
Dare said the incident should not be used to assess the state of road projects across the country, noting that several other federal roads had been completed or were progressing without similar complaints.
“I think that first, these are isolated cases. And we all know by the nature of road construction, during rainy season, you encounter problems like this,” he said.
