The Lagos State government on Monday commenced the removal of structures on the Right of Way to facilitate the upgrade and expansion of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road.

The government gave assurance that all those affected by the demolition exercise across the State will be duly compensated.

A statement issued by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Rotimi Ogunleye said the Oshodi-International Airport Road expansion project is designed as a 10-lane highway, including a BRT lane as well as an interchange and flyover that will connect the local airport.

Ogunleye said that measures have been put in place to ensure that motorists and commuters do not experience undue inconvenience during the construction period as alternative routes which would be manned by LASTMA officials have been created.

We are presently paying Epe 2 and as for other areas such as Irede, Isawo, Igbogbo-Bayeku, Agege-Pen Cinema, Oyingbo and the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road, we have started the compilation and very soon payments would be made”, Ogunleye said.
