Ogun State Approves Reconstruction Of 11 Strategic Roads Across Three Senatorial Districts

The Ogun State Government has approved the reconstruction of 11 key roads spanning the three senatorial districts of the state. This decision was reached during the State Executive Council meeting held over the weekend, presided over by Governor Dapo Abiodun.

Among the roads earmarked for reconstruction is the Akute Bridge to Agbado (Lateef Jakande) Train Terminal/Pass/Agbado Bridge, a 9.2km stretch expected to enhance connectivity and ease traffic congestion in the area. The project will also include the construction of laybys and adjoining roads to improve accessibility.

Other roads approved for reconstruction include:

Iperu Junction to Ilishan Roundabout (Gateway International Airport Road) – 5.5km

Imasayi-Igan Okoto-Ayetoro Road (Phase 2B) – 4km

Imasayi (end of Phase 1) to Igan Okoto (Phase 2A) – 3km

Gao Junction to Ibiade Road – 3.8km

Abeokuta Obalende-Ijebu Ode – 2.75km

The approval comes days after Governor Abiodun pledged to extend the reconstruction of the Oke Erinja to Erinja Road to Ilobi during its commissioning last Tuesday. The governor emphasized the importance of the area to the state’s agricultural sector, stating:

“The Ilobi and Oke-Erinja areas are among our food baskets in the state, and today, we have prioritized the construction of their roads. I have heard many times that the Erinja and Ilobi people are like Siamese twins, and I will not separate them. So, let me assure you, we will complete that road to Ilobi.”

Sango-Ijoko-Akute Road to be Awarded Soon

In a move to enhance inter-state connectivity, Governor Abiodun also disclosed plans to award the contract for the reconstruction of the Sango-Ijoko-Akute Road within the next week. The 17km arterial road, which links Ogun West, Ogun Central, and Lagos, is critical for thousands of commuters traveling daily between Ifo Local Government and Lagos State.

He noted that while his administration had already worked on the Akute-Ajuwon, Alagbole-Ajuwon, Giwa-Oke-Aro, and Alagbole-Akute roads, the efforts would only be fully appreciated once the Sango-Ijoko-Akute Road is completed.

“We have not left behind our border communities. In the last two weeks, we have been in Ifo Local Government several times because of the number of people that migrate between there and Lagos every day.”

The latest approval underscores Governor Abiodun’s commitment to infrastructure development, reinforcing his administration’s efforts to enhance mobility, boost commerce, and improve the standard of living for Ogun State residents.
