Ogun govt to upgrade major roads
The Ogun government has approved the construction and rehabilitation of major roads across the state.
The State Executive Council approved the project at its meeting on Tuesday, according to a statement by the governor’s spokesman, Kayode Akinmade.
The approved road projects include constructing RCCG New Auditorium Road to One Million Junction in Obafemi Owode council area and rehabilitating two sections of Old Ondo Road in Ijebu Ode local council, focusing on Lagos Garage to Epe Garage and Lagos Garage to Adeola Odutola College.
The council further approved the construction of Saje Junction to Elega Road and the reconstruction of the road linking Ajitadun Roundabout, Mokola Underbridge and Elega Junction in Abeokuta North Local Government Area.
The government said the projects would ease transportation, facilitate the movement of goods and services and improve access to businesses and economic centres in the benefiting communities.
In the health sector, the council approved the procurement of a Siemens helium-free 1.5 Tesla MRI machine for the Gateway Medical Centre of Excellence to improve diagnostic services.
The equipment is expected to enhance the centre’s capacity to diagnose medical conditions accurately and promptly, while reducing the need for residents to seek advanced diagnostic services outside the state.
The government said the projects would improve transportation and infrastructure, strengthen economic activity, and enhance access to quality healthcare across the state.
