Governor Dapo Abiodun Inspects Shagamu-Benin Expressway Damage
Governor Dapo Abiodun made an unscheduled visit to the Shagamu-Benin Expressway to evaluate the damage firsthand. Starting at the interchange of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, he expressed deep concern over the state of the road.
During the inspection, Abiodun stated, “Our purpose here is to personally inspect the situation and understand what has led to the complete breakdown and collapse of this road.”
He highlighted that the road’s failure has resulted in significant hardship for commuters travelling from Lagos to the southeast and south-south zones of Nigeria, as well as for those making their way from these regions to Lagos or other destinations.
The governor pointed out the impact on daily travel, saying, “This situation has created severe inconveniences for many, disrupting their journeys and affecting their livelihoods.”
He reiterated his commitment to addressing the issues facing the road, stating, “This visit underscores our dedication to finding immediate solutions to ease the suffering of commuters.”
Abiodun assured the public that the government is focused on restoring the Shagamu-Benin Expressway to full functionality.
He concluded by affirming, “We will work tirelessly to ensure that this vital road is rehabilitated and that our commuters can travel safely and comfortably.”
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
