Dividends Of Democracy: Ogun Government Shifts Attention To Owode-Ilaro Road

By ABIODUN JIMOH, ABEOKUTA

Motorist and residents along Owode-Ilaro road will heave a sign of relief as Ogun State has mobilised contractors back to the road in Yewa South local government area to begin construction.

The popular and busy Owode-Ilaro road had been left in a shameful condition unfit for use by drivers and pedestrians, especially in the rainy season in recent years.

This became necessary in line with Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun campaign pledge to attend all roads and road projects abandoned by the immediate past administration.

This is as work continues on some abandoned roads across the state, while others will soon receive equal attention.

These include Kuto bridge and surrounding roads, Panseke-Adigbe and Rounder-Lafenwa roads in Abeokuta, the state capital, as well as the Odo Afa bridge along Idiroko-Ipokia Road.

However, as the rainy season is fast approaching, this particular reason caused the state government to recall all contractors for possible readjustments and renegotiation, so that work may continue, to bring relief to the people.
