Seven firms shortlisted for Lagos-Ibadan Expressway reconstruction



Seven construction firms have been shortlisted for the reconstruction/rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
This is coming at a time that the traffic situation at several bad portions of the road has worsened due to the advent of the rains. And as the condition of the road continues to deteriorate, gridlock has become a constant feature on both sides of the highway.
 
The names of the shortlisted firms, according a source at the Federal Ministry Works, have been sent to the Bureau of Public Procurement for ratification.
The source said the BPP was expected to issue a certificate of no objection, which would clear one or two of the construction companies for the project.
