The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday approved N72.9 billion for reconstruction of road linking Creek Road to Tincan Island, Oworonshoki and Toll gate at the Lagos end of Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, briefed State House correspondents at the end of FEC meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the project which would be completed in two years covers 27.8 kilometers of five lanes on both sides of the roads.

According to him, the project excluded Coconut-Mile 2 part of the road that had already been done.

He said the project would be handled by Dangote Group on a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) basis.
