Ogun Sets For Statewide Road Maintenance

Ogun State Government has announced plans to embark on comprehensive road maintenance works across the State.

The initiative, according to it, will be carried out across the 20 Local Government Areas in the state.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Works, Engr. Babatunde Adesina, in a statement by the agency's spokesman, Segun Craig, announced the intervention during an inspection tour of the Leme–Abiola Way–Madojutimi roads in Abeokuta, the state capital.

Adesina said the exercise will make roads accessible to all residents.

He explained that the initiative reflects the administration’s strong commitment to improving infrastructure, enhancing mobility and addressing the poor state of some key roads in order to ease the burden on commuters.

According to him, Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration is prioritising both urban and rural road projects as a way of supporting local businesses, improving community connectivity, and boosting economic growth across the State.

“We will ensure that all parts of the state’s roads are touched by the road maintenance gang as the present administration is determined to make road networks across Ogun State accessible and durable,” Adesina said.

“The exercise is not just about patching roads; it is about making life easier for our people and supporting commerce. Better roads will translate into reduced travel time, safer journeys, and stronger economic activities for our communities,” he stated.

Some residents who spoke on the development welcomed the initiative, expressing optimism that the road maintenance project would greatly improve accessibility and contribute to local economic development once completed.
