Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has inaugurated the 5.5-kilometre Elega–Miliki–Saje–Bode-Olude–Alhaji Sugar road in Abeokuta, marking a significant step in efforts to enhance infrastructure in the state capital.
The governor said the project reflects his administration’s commitment to improving connectivity and stimulating economic activities across Abeokuta North and Abeokuta South local government areas.
He also announced that reconstruction work would soon begin on the long-abandoned Ago-Odo–Lafenwa road.
Abiodun noted that the Ago-Odo–Lafenwa road was one of the inherited abandoned projects his government is now tackling, adding that its reconstruction will significantly enhance movement and commerce in the area.
The governor also disclosed plans to build a one-kilometre link road with a bridge to connect the axis to Lafenwa, following appeals from community leaders and the Alake of Egbaland.
Abiodun said the newly inaugurated Elega–Saje corridor is already transforming the area, with improved mobility and a noticeable boost in commercial activities, especially at night.
Reiterating his commitment to infrastructure, the governor said about 26 roads are ready for commissioning, with plans to inaugurate at least one every week in the coming months.
He cited the Car Wash–Adatan road, which, according to him, is nearing completion, as another sign of his administration’s determination to deliver on promises.
