Motorists and other road users on Wednesday decried the delay in the completion of the Ojoo end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The respondents expressed dissatisfaction over the slow pace of work in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan.

They unanimously said the slow pace of work had recently led to regular crashes at different sections of the expressway.

The road users called on the Federal Government to prevail on the construction company, Reynold Construction Company, to expedite action on the project.

Sixteen people died in an accident involving multiple vehicles at the Agbowo-Ojoo section of the road on Tuesday. According to the Federal Road Safety Corps, 17 other people sustained varying degrees of injuries in the crash of four vehicles.

FRSC attributed the cause of the accident to the brake failure of a MACK truck, which, consequently, collided with the other vehicles.
