Going by the length of others which is between 300m to 700m, it is safe to say the cost of flyover bridges during the last administration was between N1.5bn to N3.5bn and we can rightly say the average cost of flyover bridges was N2.5bn.

As contained in this report, there are 14 flyover bridges listed with average cost of N2.5bn (14 X N2.5bn = N35bn!)

Ex. Governor Ibikunle Amosun allegedly spent N35bn on 14 flyover bridges with 80% of it not sited on water level, while the roads which the bridges are on are neglected.
