Abiodun commissions Elega–Saje Road, unveils Ago-Odo–Lafenwa reconstruction
Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has commissioned the 5.5-kilometre Elega–Miliki–Saje–Bode-Olude–Alhaji Sugar Road and announced plans to commence the reconstruction of the Ago-Odo–Lafenwa Road in Abeokuta.
The governor made this known during the commissioning ceremony of the road, which cuts across Abeokuta North and Abeokuta South Local Government Areas, noting that the project is part of his administration’s drive to improve infrastructure and stimulate economic activities across the state.
Abiodun described the Ago-Odo–Lafenwa Road as one of the abandoned projects inherited by his administration, adding that its reconstruction would enhance connectivity and boost commerce within the axis.
He further disclosed plans to construct a one-kilometre link road, including a bridge that will connect the area to Lafenwa, following appeals from community leaders and the Alake of Egbaland.
The governor observed that the newly completed Elega–Saje corridor is already making a positive impact by improving mobility and increasing commercial activities, particularly at night.
To further enhance business operations and strengthen security, he said solar-powered streetlights would be installed along the corridor.
Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, Abiodun revealed that about 26 roads are ready for commissioning, with plans to inaugurate at least one road every week in the coming months.
He also highlighted ongoing projects such as the Car Wash–Adatan Road, which is nearing completion, while noting that the refurbished Olumo Rock Tourist Centre is attracting international interest and has significantly boosted revenue generation, rising from about ₦3 million annually to approximately ₦10 million weekly.
