For a long time, residents of Arepo in Obafemi/Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State were having harrowing experience commuting to and from the community as a result of the terrible state of the Arepo Journalists Estate Road, linking the area with the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. A journey of about five minutes could take as much as 20 minutes, especially when it rains.
Governor Dapo Abiodun made the strategic intervention to reconstruct the road to the delight of the community in fulfilment of his campaign promise to the people. The governor has, on many occasions, said his administration would not promise what it could not be able to fulfill, but would fulfill all its promises. He has sound it anywhere he goes that his administration is not the type that promise to “do all”, but ended up doing nothing.
Going back memory lane, Governor Abiodun recalled the promise he made during the electioneering towards the 2019 general election to fix the road if he was elected governor. He expressed delight that Arepo road which had been in a bad state for years has finally been reconstructed. The governor added that the state government under his watch has, apart from the Arepo road, embarked on the construction of all arterial roads linking Ogun with Lagos State, emphasizing that his administration is determined to raise the bar in road construction in years to come.
Olu of Arepo, Oba Solomon Atanda Oyebi, said the road project would perhaps be the first of its kind in the community from any administration. Oyebi recalled the daily complaints he received from his subjects due to the bad state of the road. Chairman, Journalists Estate Residents Development Association , Phase 1, Barrister Jide Oke said: “The road is a testimony of the can do spirit of the Dapo Abiodun administration in Ogun State. He came to Arepo and promised that the road shall be delivered within a year and much to the surprise of the cynics and the doubting Thomases he delivered within the record time.”
