•Across OGUN State
Have you gone around many of the 3 Ogun Senatorial zones of late? Have you gone around Ogun East, Ogun West and Ogun Central Senatorial zone lately? If you are here, you must have noticed the massive road construction going on there, courtesy of Gov. Dapo Abiodun led state government. A lot of the residents of Ijebu-Ode and its environs are happy at the new look all the roads are wearing. It is the same story all around. A few days ago, the OGUN State Public Works Agency confirmed the commencement of the massive road construction. It says it has embarked on the next phase of road repairs, in its bid to fix bad portions of road networks and improve the road infrastructure in the state.
The OGPWA General Manager, Gbenga Akintola, while speaking during an inspection visit to some of the sites, said the roads had been given a major facelift.
The roads include NEPA road, Imo; Oke-Mosan road; OGTV road; Totoro junction, linking Ogbe; and Methodist Cathedral road network, all in Abeokuta.
Akintola noted that the repair was strategic as well as important and that the agency took advantage of the dry spell to navigate into areas that needed attention.
He added that the agency would not relent in ensuring that road repairs and rehabilitation remained a continuous exercise.
He said, “In the last few months, OGPWA has completed a full re-asphalting of the Kings Court Estate Road, Oke-Mosan, the access road to the House of Assembly Legislative quarters, Opic round-about, Oke-Ilewo, Central Bank Junction-Bureau of Lands /OGSIEC access road, Oke-Ilewo-Omida-Igbore road junction, Iwe-Iroyin – GTBank- Kuto road junction, all in Abeokuta.”
Akintola stated that in the Ogun-West Senatorial District, road networks marked for repair with the commencement of work include Mefun road, Ota, in the Ado–Odo/Ota Local Government Area; Ibese- Igbogila road network, in the Yewa North Local Government Area; Adetona, Orita Pahayi, Sabo Junction Road, Ilaro; as well as Idiroko- Ipokia road in the Ipokia Local Government Area.
