Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has assured residents that his administration will soon complete the 20-kilometre Akute–Ijoko Road in Ifo Local Government Area.
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–Ajuwon–Alagbole Road, also in Ifo Local Government.
Abiodun noted “This road is almost 20 kilometres long — 20 kilometres of dual carriageway, which means 40 kilometres with drainages. By His grace, we will finish this road,” he said.
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.
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.
“This road is a very important connector between Ogun West and Ogun Central, linking Sango-Ota — a neighbouring local government to Lagos — and Ifo II through Ifo I,” he explained.
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–Lanbe–Ijoko Road corridor.
