Senator Ned Nwoko Meets FERMA MD, Calls For Immediate Attention To Lagos-Asaba Expressway

The meeting that held on Tuesday, September 24, followed the Senate’s resumption after its eight-week recess.

The Senator raised concerns about the deteriorating state of the Lagos-Asaba Expressway, specifically the stretch between Alifekide and Asaba Bridge End, which he said has become hazardous and has resulted in numerous fatalities.

Nwoko stressed that the road’s poor condition continues to endanger both lives and properties, affecting surrounding communities and road users.

Furthermore, the lawmaker urged Agbasi to give urgent attention to this particular federal road.

In response, Engineer Agbasi assured the Senator that prompt action would be taken to address the deteriorated sections of the road.
