He said, “On Friday, I stopped at Kara and made a piece of my mind known to the contractor handling the Kara end of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, my stopping there was with respect to the very poor traffic management and the resulting traffic gridlock subjecting innocent travellers to untold hardship.
“I am glad to note that I was able to extract from the firm handling the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway through the Federal Comptroller of Works a commitment to complete the construction causing the bottleneck on or before Sunday 30th April and open the road to allow free flow of traffic both outbound and inbound Lagos.”

She said, “The reopening is creating more job opportunities and bringing the company closer to its customers within the area.

Olajengbesi urged the governor to ensure that all parties involved in the matter stay further actions over the vacant stool of Aresa pending the hearing and determination by the Court of Appeal sitting at Ibadan, the state capital.
