Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has assured residents of Sango Ota/ Ijoko/Olambe/Akute/Alagbole that one out of the existing two bad lanes on the federal road would be reconstructed before December.
The governor, who visited the area recently, commended residents for their patience despite the harrowing experience commuting through the bad road.
He said though the road belong to the Federal Government, the sense of urgency he attached to the road was borne out of his desire to ensure people who have been hitherto neglected for years in the area feel the impact of government during his administration.
He said one lane of the 32-kilometre road from Sango Ota through Ijoko to Alagbole would be done between now and December to ensure motorists and other road users who ply the road daily do so without stress which has been their lot for years.
He, however, gave the contractor handling the road a marching order to ensure the December deadline set for the project is achievable.
Meanwhile, Anike Anifowoshe, a trader in the area said: “This road used to be very bad. I have been doing my business in this area for more than 10 years now and the road keep getting bad without attention from the government. I am happy our governor, after we cried out to him the last time he came here, has decided to do something. You can see the road is now passable.”
