The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS), have given the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government a 14-day ultimatum to rehabilitate the highway linking Abeokuta with Sango-Ota and Lagos State.
The students, while lamenting the deplorable condition of the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, said “the road has now become a death trap and the hotspot of kidnappers and armed robbers.”
The students’ bodies raised the alarm over the safety of motorists and other road users, especially students of the various learning institutions located along the road and in Abeokuta, the Ogun capital.
According to them, the Federal Government has been given a 14-day ultimatum to commence reconstruction of the road, failure which they would shut down the road in a massive protest.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman of NANS in Ogun, Damilola Simeon and the National President of NAOSS, Oluwagbemileke Ogunrombi on Sunday
