Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has assured residents of Ogun State of his administration’s commitment to completing the ongoing construction of Sango-Ojodu road.
The governor made the promise on Saturday, when he visited some parts of the 32km road construction project, which comes along with five bridges, during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
A statement by the spokesman for the Governor, Adejuwon Soyinka, said that Governor Amosun assured residents and commuters whose daily activities are affected by the current state of the road that, “the hardship of this rainy season would be the last that you would experience on this road before the completion of the project”.
While explaining that the road construction would have been completed but for paucity of fund, the Governor described it as a huge project. He said the size of the project was one reason all previous administrations in Ogun State avoided it.
“But we are determined to tackle it headlong and put an end to the hardship always experienced on the road by our people,” Governor Amosun said.
The Governor, while appreciating residents of Ijoko, Yakoyo, Alagbole, Akute and other communities on the path of the project, for their patience and support, assured them that by March next year, “the five overhead bridges on the road would have been completed.”
