The comptroller added that the ultimate goal was to improve the bridge and provide better service to the public.
On Thursday, the controller announced a 24-hour closure of the bridge to allow for repairs of some critical portions.
The contractors would return to site on January 9, and complete work between Kara and Long Bridge within 20 days.
The Lagos-Badagry expressway is part of the projects the NNPC is funding under the Tax Credit Scheme among 21 roads selected nationwide.
The road section between Arepo and Warewa will be diverted to allow laying of asphalt on the under-construction highway.
The diversion on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway would begin on Wednesday July 28 and end on Friday 30 July.
