He said, “Whenever I went for business around Ikeja from Alaba, the Apapa-Oshodi expressway was a nightmare.
“Today, the road is fully rebuilt from Mile 2 to Oshodi and I travel on that road under 10minutes as against 3-5 hours before,” Kelly said.
Uche aka Person Entertainment also a member of the association said, “Going to Eastern parts of Nigeria like Ogoja in Cross River for business took almost 3 days by road. Now, I spend less than 16 hours. Ore–Benin is perfect. The East–West Road is one of the best roads ever and is nearing completion. And when the Lagos to Ibadan express road is complete, it would directly impact on my business.”
