No be lie, my people! Na so we go dey yarn about the road wey sabi carry movement from Edo go Delta. This one na big engineering wahala wey don start since March 2025 as President Bola Tinubu shine him eye on top am.
The highway dey stretch about 125 kilometres, starting from Onitsha Head Bridge, through Asaba wey get own wahala for Ezenei Junction, pass Alifekede for Ika South LGA, and finally land for Benin.
Make we talk money matter, e go cost us roughly N200 billion! Na the Benin-Asaba Expressway Concession Company Limited – Africa Plus Partners (Nigeria) Limited Consortium go finance am. That one no be small change oh!
Dem don hire Africa Plus Partners (Nigeria) Limited Consortium as the contractor wey go dey handle the entire project. E no go be small thing as dem don plan to finish am within 30 months, from March 2025 come reach September 2027.
As wahala be like this, the highway go get 10-lane carriageway! Five lanes go dey on top each side, so na smooth movement we dey expect. No more go-slow for King Square to Benin bypass again, my people!
