Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, says his administration has reconstructed more than 42 roads in Ogun Central Senatorial District over the last seven years.

n

Abiodun stated this on Friday while inaugurating the 3.5-kilometre Adesan Road project in Mowe-Ofada, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.

n

He noted that the construction of the road was part of efforts to improve infrastructure and promote economic development across the state.

n

The governor said he had remained fair, just and equitable in the distribution of infrastructure across the state.

n

He said that upon assuming office on May 29, 2019, he pledged before God and the people of Ogun State to deliver on his campaign promises.

n

According to him, the administration has reconstructed a total of 1,600 kilometres of roads across the state within the last seven years.

n

Abiodun said the achievements reflected the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and driving economic development across Ogun.

n

He assured residents that his administration would award and complete more road projects before the end of its tenure.

n

The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fulfilling its promises and delivering projects that positively impact the lives of the people.

n

He urged residents of Ofada and neighbouring communities to protect the newly reconstructed road and use it responsibly for its intended purpose.

n

According to him, Ofada is widely known for its famous rice and remains a strategic community bordering Lagos State with a rapidly growing population.

n

He said Obafemi-Owode serves as home to millions of residents and businesses due to its proximity to Lagos, making infrastructure investment imperative.

n

He expressed satisfaction with the completion of the road, noting that it would connect communities, markets and businesses while facilitating easier movement between Ogun and Lagos states.

n

Abiodun said, “I want to assure you that we will remain a promise-keeping administration and, for those who live here, ensure that this road serves the purpose for which it was designed and reconstructed.”

n

Also speaking, the member representing Obafemi-Owode in the Ogun State House of Assembly, Damilola Soneye, commended the governor for reconstructing a major community road.

n

Soneye said the project had transformed transportation, improved livelihoods and significantly increased property values.

n

He said, “This road was in a deplorable condition for years, making movement difficult for motorists and residents before the intervention of Gov. Dapo Abiodun’s administration.

n

“The newly completed road has brought relief to commuters and residents while opening up the area for greater economic activities.”
