Indications at the weekend
were that the Federal Government plans to re-award the contract for the full
reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to Julius Berger Nigeria in
March.
The construction giant had some weeks ago moved its men and machines out of site, blaming failure by the Federal Government to pay N52 billion for the rehabilitation work done ahead of the yuletide, after the contract for the job initially awarded to concessionaire- Bi-Courtney Nigeria was cancelled.
The new contract to Julius Berger is expected to cover the area between old Lagos toll gate end to the Shagamu interchange, which constitutes section one of the road rehabilitation to Julius Berger in March, if feelers emerging from the Federal Ministry of Works are anything to go by.
