Mrs Blessing Lere-Adams of the Works and Housing Ministry said that contractors are now set to resume work on major highways especially the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway( from OPIC to the old toll gate) and the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway (around Kawo on the Kaduna-Zaria section).
Lere-Adams said the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, had directed that construction barricades be returned at the construction sites for safety purposes with effect from Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023.
