The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, said on Tuesday that his administration had constructed approximately 1,000km of roads since taking office in 2019.

Abiodun stated this at the commissioning of the 3.12-kilometre Oke-Erinja-Ilobi road in Yewa South Local Government Area of the state, promising to ensure the road’s completion all the way to Ilobi.

The governor described the project as a historic milestone in Ogun State’s development journey.

He noted that the road serves as a pathway to progress and economic growth, enhancing the quality of life for residents of the Erinja and Ilobi communities.

Abiodun further announced that his administration would award the construction of the Sango-Ijoko-Akute road within the week.

He explained that efforts on the Akute-Ajuwon, Alagbole-Ajuwon, Giwa-Oke-Aro, and Alagbole-Akute roads would not be fully appreciated unless the Sango-Ijoko-Akute road was completed.

Abiodun also highlighted ongoing work on the Agbara-Atan-Lusada road and his plans to inspect the Interchange-Papalanto-Obelle road with businessman Aliko Dangote to expedite its completion. The road is being constructed under a tax credit scheme.
