The Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, has said that the Federal Government might re-design some portions of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway that are susceptible to flooding. Speaking in Abuja yesterday at the opening of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) national conference, he said the low level of some portions of the expressway was of concern to the Federal Government. His words: “The possibility of having the Lagos-Ibadan expressway being washed away is a serious matter to the government. The thing about nature is that it is difficult to conquer but government will try to ensure things are done to curtail extent of damage. With particular reference to Lagos-Ibadan expressway, government will have to look at the design of those portions that are affected and probably begin to raise the level of the road at those points so that a lot of disruptions of traffic as well as destruction of property are not caused.”
