The Abeokuta-Lagos Road will be renovated in 2024, according to Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun State. While officially opening the Itori Township Road in the state’s Ewekoro Local Government Area, he provided this assurance.
Abiodun mentioned that the Federal Government and he would soon come to an agreement to rebuild the road. He promised that the major roads that are in terrible shape would be fixed under his administration.
“The road reconstruction was in fulfilment of the promise made during the 2019 campaign,” the governor declared. “My administration remained the first to ensure equal distribution of projects to all parts of the state, No local government has been excluded in project execution,” the statement continued.
He declared. According to him, previous efforts made by his administration were not successful as the FG insisted that the road was under a contract.
Addressing people at the campaign rally in Papalanto, Abiodun, promised that the old Ilaro road in the town would soon be reconstructed, while more blocks of classrooms and the renovation of the old structures would be carried out in Papalanto High School.
The governor, while acknowledging the importance of good roads in the socio-economic development of any society, noted that the road when rebuilt would further boost the economic activities in the area. He, however, urged the people to collect their Permanent Voter’s Cards to enable them to participate in the forthcoming general elections.
In his remarks, the Olu of Itori, Oba Fatai Akamo, said the road has been in a deplorable condition for as long as previous governments did not pay attention to it.
