Dapo Abiodun, the governor of Ogun State, claims that in just three years and seven months, his administration has rebuilt more than 400 kilometers of highways.
This was revealed by Abiodun on Monday at the opening of the 18-kilometer Ejirin-Idowa-Ibefun-Itokin road in the state’s Odogbolu Local Government Area.
Since the start of his campaign, according to Abiodun, his administration has been able to kick off road development in every local government it has so far visited.
He said; “We inaugurated the Itori township road in Ewekoro Local Government Area last week. We are in Ijebu East where we inaugurated the Esure road.
“The road we are commissioning today is a connecting road between Ogun and Lagos states. It is a Federal Government road but in a deplorable condition. We must not allow our people to suffer.
“We have paid attention to roads that connect neighbouring states, especially Lagos. We are determined to build the future of Ogun State together.
“We have reconstructed over 400 kilometres of highways in three years and seven months.
“After spending eight years, we may not have constructed all roads but we would have made a positive difference.”
Oba Yinusa Adekoya, the Dagburewe of Idowa, praised the governor for keeping his word.
Before the governor took office, the road, according to Adekoya, was in poor shape.
