The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said the blockage of a section of the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway by protesting students is a violation of the constitution.
He said this Wednesday while responding to questions from State House reporters after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Protesting the seven-month strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), some members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) blocked the Sagamu Interchange section of the expressway on Tuesday, causing gridlock that affected motorists and passengers.
Fashola, who was asked a question on the recurrent gridlock on the uncompleted sections of the highway, appealed for more patience from Nigerians.
He said there was no alternative route in the already built-up areas.
