Ogun: Jubilation as Abiodun commissions road, hospital in Abeokuta

It was jubilation galore for the residents of Abeokuta, the capital city of Ogun State as Gov. Dapo Abiodun commissioned the 7.2km Fajol-American Junction-Gbonagun road and a Primary Health Centre at Itoko also in the State Capital.

Speaking at the commissioning of the two projects, Gov. Dapo Abiodun said the Fajol Junction-Ajegunle-Osara-Gbonangun road, which crisscrosses communities in the Abeokuta South and Odeda local government areas, was among many long abandoned roads being constructed by his administration across the three senatorial districts of Ogun.

The roads, he said, are key to the socioeconomic development of the state.

“The completion of Fajol Junction-Ajegunle-Osara-Gbonangun road is heartwarming. This is one road that had begged for attention for over two decades, was given priority attention to roads, like hospitals and other projects abandoned by our predecessors. All these projects were funded with tax payers’ money and we cannot allow them to perpetually be in a state of disrepair because of politics”.

“This 7.2km road is a reliable alternative route and it will sure bring succor to resident and travellers of this area by reducing the traffic gridlock that is daily experienced on the ever-busy Ibadan-Abeokuta road” he said.

Abiodun noted that the newly constructed road apart from further expanding the economic activities of the area by making them accessible, help in the control of erosion and flood in the axis
