Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has assured residents that his administration will soon complete the 20-kilometre Akute\u2013Ijoko Road in Ifo Local Government Area.<\/p>\n
The governor gave the assurance while inspecting ongoing work on the first phase of the 9.7-kilometre stretch of the road, shortly after commissioning the Akute\u2013Ajuwon\u2013Alagbole Road, also in Ifo Local Government.<\/p>\n
Governor Abiodun noted that the Akute\u2013Ijoko project is being executed in phases as part of a well-structured implementation plan designed by his administration. He added that the government had a clear vision for the road and was committed to bringing it to fruition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis road is almost 20 kilometres long \u2014 20 kilometres of dual carriageway, which means 40 kilometres with drainages. By His grace, we will finish this road,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The governor recalled that the road had been abandoned for years, stressing that its condition was further worsened by poor and uncoordinated attempts at intervention by a previous administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you see here was an abandoned road. The road would probably have been better left the way it was. An administration did whatever and made it much worse than it ever was.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know it is impossible for government to function without coordination. You must have a plan and you must have priorities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Abiodun added that the implementation plan for the project aligns with the yearnings of the people, noting that his administration places a premium on public consultation.<\/p>\n
According to him, nothing is more heart-warming than seeing the joy and relief on the faces of residents during his inspection.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis road is a very important connector between Ogun West and Ogun Central, linking Sango-Ota \u2014 a neighbouring local government to Lagos \u2014 and Ifo II through Ifo I,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He further disclosed that the project has been divided into two phases, with the first phase extending slightly beyond the Agbado Station area, up to the Sango\u2013Lanbe\u2013Ijoko Road corridor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
