GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has become very notorious for road crashes especially on account of over speeding by motorists on the road which connects Nigeria’s commercial capital city with the rest of the Southwest and the Southeast and the South-South geopolitical zones. It is also the road leading from Lagos to the North.

It is reported that not less than 30 lives have been lost on the road this year.
