Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has said travelling from
Lagos State to Abuja would soon be reduced to four hours with the proposed
Lagos 4th Mainland Bridge Supersonic Highway.
Umahi disclosed this during his visit to Ogun and Oyo States
as part of his highway inspection tour.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Director
Press and Public Relations unit of his Ministry, Blessing Lere-Adams, on
Friday.
According to the statement, Umahi told Governor Dapo Abiodun
of Ogun State that, “Let me announce to you that the proposed Lagos 4th
Mainland Bridge Supersonic Highway will take four hours to drive from Lagos to
Abuja.
“We had a presentation on it yesterday with the consultant,
and it’s going to be on Public Private Partnership (PPP). Driving from Lagos to
Abuja will take four hours; we are concluding on it within one or two months,
and work will start.
“We have a programme called Highway Development Management
Initiative (HDMI), and it allows states and other private investors to engage
with the Federal Government either to take over a fully constructed road to
toll and maintain it in partnership with the Federal Government or take a brand
new road and reconstruct it and toll it under laid down agreement.”
