Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring that no part of the state is excluded from ongoing development projects. The governor assured residents that **infrastructural renewal and road rehabilitation will continue to spread across all communities and senatorial districts in the state.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, the governor revealed that the state government is currently working on four major highways within the Ifo, Sango-Ota, and Idiroko areas of the state.
Akinmade described as mischievous and misleading the claims that certain areas had been abandoned, stressing that the Abiodun-led administration has a comprehensive plan to deliver the dividends of democracy to every part of Ogun State, including communities in the Lafenwa–Itele–Ayetoro axis.
He further explained that despite being federal roads, the 140-kilometre Abeokuta–Lagos Expressway and the Sango–Idiroko Road are being reconstructed by the Ogun State Government. The statement noted that about 22 kilometres of the Sango–Idiroko Road, covering the Ijoko, Agbado, and Alagbole sections, have already been completed.
Listing some of the completed projects, Akinmade highlighted the following roads:
* Ikorita Meta, Adenrele/Olose Titus Vespa Road (3.1 km)
* Old Bank Road – Orita Meta – Coker Junction
* Olumo Spur Road (1 km)
* Olusegun Osoba, Toyin, Agbado Road (2.4 km)
* Reconstruction of Sango–Ota–Oke Aro–Ojodu Abiodun Road (Yakoyo to Mr. Biggs, Phase 6 – 1.6 km)
* Sango–Ota to Ijoko Bridge (Phase 1 – 8.5 km)
* Akute–Denro–Ishasi Road (4.8 km)
* Alhaji Kosoko Street, Ojodu Abiodun (1 km rehabilitation and resurfacing)
* Ajulo–Akute Road (3 km)
* Hercules–Giwa Road (1.3 km)
* Alagbole–Ajulo Road (1.7 km)
* Akute Bridge to Oke Aro Bridge (9.2 km)
* Atan–Lusada–Marogbo Toll Road (19.2 km)
* Lanfenwa–Osi–Ikola Road
* Bible College Road, Ota (3.89 km).
Akinmade emphasized that while the public has every right to demand good governance, citizens should beware of opposition politicians attempting to discredit the administration’s progress.
“Governor Abiodun runs a transparent and people-focused government and has never shied away from public accountability. However, we are aware of political detractors trying to mislead the public with false claims,” the statement said.
He explained that many of the roads currently under reconstruction had been in deplorable condition for years before the Abiodun administration assumed office in 2019.
“Aside from the now-trending Ota–Itele–Lafenwa Road, other important roads such as the Sango–Ijoko–Agbado–Oke Aro–Lambe–Akute Road, Sango Ota–Papalanto–Abeokuta Road, and Sango–Idiroko Road were in terrible condition before 2019. Today, the story is changing, and residents continue to express appreciation for the government’s efforts,” Akinmade noted.
He added that out of four major roads in the Sango-Ota axis are currently under reconstruction, while the Ota–Itele–Lafenwa Road has already been captured in the 2026 state budget.
“The 30-kilometre Sango–Ijoko–Agbado–Oke Aro–Lambe–Akute Road, the 140-kilometre Sango Ota–Papalanto–Abeokuta Road, and the 63-kilometre Sango–Idiroko Road are all major projects with over 50 percent progress made so far,” he added.
Akinmade assured that the pace of work will accelerate once the rainy season subsides, reaffirming that Governor Abiodun remains committed to completing all ongoing projects before the end of his tenure.
“Governor Dapo Abiodun has demonstrated clear determination to work till his last day in office. No part of Ogun State will be left behind in this wave of infrastructural transformation,” he stressed.
Highlighting Ogun’s growing achievements under the current administration, Akinmade said the state now boasts of a world-class airport, a global-standard sports complex, and the largest cement factory in West Africa, among other developmental strides.
“Ogun State is setting new records in development, and we must not lose sight of these achievements because of the antics of a few naysayers,” he concluded.
