Ogun govt approves reconstruction of Abule Egba-Sango-Abeokuta expressway, Ogijo road
The Ogun State government has approved the reconstruction of the Abule Egba-Sango-Abeokuta expressway, Ogijo road and other major priority projects in the state.
The special adviser to the governor on media, Kayode Akinmade, said in a statement on Saturday in Abeokuta that the approval was given by the State Executive Council, presided over by Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Mr Akinmade said the executive council also approved the purchase of some equipment at Gateway Agro-Cargo International Airport, Ilishan.
He said the council approved the reconstruction of the 5.5km Ode Remo junction to Saapade, the rehabilitation of the Ayepe junction to Mayflower in the Ikenne Local Government Area and the reconstruction of Adesan Street, Mowe-Ofada road.
“Other approvals include the structural adjustment for the 19.2km Atan-Lusada-Agbara road in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government and the construction of Hospital Road, Ogijo, in Sagamu Local Government.
“The purchase of some machinery and equipment at Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport at Ilishan Remo will allow 24-hour flight operations and facilitate quick take-off of the airport,” he said.
The governor’s aide also said approval had been given for palliative work to be carried out at the Iyana Ilogbo bus stop on the Abule Egba-Sango-Abeokuta expressway following the recent rainfall that led to flooding in the area.
