The Nation Newspaper Abeokuta-Ota road to become world-class, says Ogun govt
The road, which runs through Lagos and Ogun states, has been in a deplorable condition for years, resulting in untold hardship for motorists, especially residents of Ogun State. The Ogun State governor’s efforts, in conjunction with his Lagos State counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, were not complemented by former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Lauding Federal Government’s gesture while hailing Governor Abiodun for his resilience in pursuing the approval, Ogun State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Ade Akinsanya, expressed the state’s readiness to take on the project and end the many years of suffering of its people. “But the response then was that all the roads were under contracts. So, nothing happened. But our governor, determined to see an end to the hardship being experienced by our people, did not give up until he was able to seal the deal on Sunday.”
“Ogun State has been rehabilitating the road since 2019. We kept doing palliative works because the governor is always concerned about the sufferings being experienced by the people. He remained concerned about the deplorable state of the road till he got what he wanted from the Federal Government.
