Ogun approves six roads for construction

The Ogun State Executive Council presided over by the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, has approved seven major priority projects for execution.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Kayode Akinmade, on Saturday.

The projects include the reconstruction of six roads including the Abule Egba-Ota/Sango-Abeokuta Expressway and the purchase of some equipment at the Gateway Agro-Cargo International Airport.

The statement partly read, “The council has equally approved the reconstruction of the 5.5km Ode Remo Junction to Sapade (Phase 3), the rehabilitation of Ayepe Junction to Mayflower in Ikenne Local Government and the reconstruction of Adesan Street, off Mowe-Ofada Road in Obafemi Owode Local Government.

“Other approvals include, the structural adjustment for the 19.2km Atan-Lusada-Agbara Road in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government and the construction of Hospital Road, Ogijo, in Sagamu Local Government.”

Akinmade said the purchase of some machinery and equipment at Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport at Ilishan Remo will allow 24-hour flight operations and facilitate quick take-off of the internationally acclaimed Airport.

Approval was also said to have been given for palliative work to be carried out at the Iyana Ilogbo bus stop along the Abule Egba-Ota/Sango-Abeokuta expressway following recent rainfall that led to flooding in the area.
