The Special Adviser to the Ogun State Governor on Public Works, Babatunde Adeshina, has revealed plans for the rehabilitation of 100 roads across the state’s 20 local government areas.
Adeshina shared this information during a radio interview, emphasizing the state government’s commitment to ensuring an equitable distribution of democracy’s dividends throughout the region.
He acknowledged the challenges posed by the condition of the roads and advised citizens to be patient, noting that the rehabilitation process would be gradual due to the extensive nature of the task.
Adeshina indicated that the Ogun State Public Works Agency is considering prioritizing primary roads before addressing secondary ones, acknowledging that solving century-old problems takes time.
“I appeal for your patience; the roads are many, and we have to start somewhere. Once we’ve started and continued at this pace, in the next few years, we would have covered a lot of ground,” he reassured.
Adeshina further disclosed the government’s commitment to completing the other side of every dual carriageway that has already undergone construction across the state.
This initiative reflects the state’s comprehensive approach to infrastructure development.
