Ogun fixes Abeokuta-Lagos, Ilaro federal roads
The Ogun State Government has completed the rehabilitation of some bad portions on Abeokuta-Lagos and old Ilaro roads, within the State, towards ameliorating the sufferings and loss of man-hour confronting motorists and other road users plying the roads.
State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Arch. Olamilekan Adegbite, through his Media Aide, Mr. Temidayo Agida said, though, they are Federal roads, yet the rehabilitation work had become necessary, owing to the large volume of human and vehicular activities occurring on the roads on daily basis to make motoring safer in the area.
‘’It is our duty to ensure that all the roads within Ogun State are in good condition, but due to paucity of funds, we have to strategically choose the roads to be rehabilitated in terms of importance,’’ he said.
The Commissioner explained that quite a number of Federal roads have been rehabilitated by the State in the past six and half years, adding that the State could no longer wait for the Federal Government, as the affected roads were critical to the socio-economic life of the people.
He assured that the State Government would not relent in its efforts at ensuring that all roads, not minding their classification, were put in good shape.
