President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says work has commenced on the Abeokuta-Ifo-Sango-Abule Egba Highway abandoned by past administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Onanuga said the road became a huge embarrassment due to neglect.
He commended Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State for taking on the road construction after Tinubu’s administration transferred it to the state government.
Posting the commencement of the road construction via his X page, Abiodun wrote: “Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun at the flag-off ceremony for the reconstruction of the Abeokuta/Ifo/Sango/Abule-Egba Road, we welcomed all attendees and expressed our gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the transfer of this critical project to Ogun State.
“This road, spanning 70 kilometres, is vital for connecting key regions within Ogun and Lagos States, supporting both local and national economic activities, and serving as a crucial link to neighbouring West African countries.
“We assured our citizens that the road will be reconstructed to world-class standards, with features such as drainage systems, sidewalks, and traffic signs. The project is expected to create jobs for both skilled and unskilled workers, boost economic activity, and improve the quality of life for residents.
“The reconstruction effort is part of our broader strategy to enhance infrastructure across Ogun State, contributing to job creation, poverty alleviation, and food security.”
Reacting, Onanuga said: “Work begins on the Abeokuta-Ifo-Sango-Abule Egba Highway. The very important road was neglected during the Obasanjo presidency and became a huge embarrassment to the people of Ogun state.
“We must show appreciation to Governor Abiodun for taking on the reconstruction of the road, after the Tinubu administration transferred it to the Ogun State Government.” CONTINUE READING………………….
