Says road ready in 15 months


Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun flagged off the reconstruction of the Atan-Lusada-Agbara Road on Thursday, with a promise that the project would not be abandoned.

The governor also inaugurated the 10.25 km Lusada Junction-Igbesa-Ogun Guangdong FTZ Road, a project undertaken via Public-Private Partnership.0

Flagging off the 19 km Atan-Lusada-Agbara Road at an event which was attended by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo; Chairman, Senate Committee on Works and former governor of Kebbi State, Senator Adamu Aliero; Senator representing Lagos West and Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Olamilekan Adeola; Senator Ayo Akinyelure; Senator Oyeyemi Bamidele; and Senator Micheal Nnachi, among other dignitaries, Abiodun said the commencement of rehabilitation work on the road would impact positively on the ease of doing business along the industrial corridor.

While saying the road will be completed in 15 months time, the governor said that though the road, which is part of the Sokoto-Badagry Expressway, belonged to the federal government, he said his administration decided to embark on the reconstruction of the road in order to give succour to the residents and industries along the axis.

Abiodun, who reiterated that his government would not develop any part of the state at the expense of another, disclosed that over 172 kilometres of road had been constructed, while 120 kilometres had also been rehabilitated across the length and breadth of Ogun within two years of his administration.


The governor assured that all roads leading to industrial areas and farm settlements in the state will be prioritised to boost economic growth and development.

He commended Buhari administration for the prompt approval on the request for the transfer of the rehabilitation, reconstruction and maintenance of Atan-Lusada-Agbara road to the Ogun State.

The governor urged the residents along the axis to take charge of the project, disclosing in the communities would be gainfully engaged during the construction of the road.

‘No doubt, today’s twin events of turn of sod of Atan-Lusada-Agbara road and commissioning of the Lusada-Igbesa road is part of our administration’s commitment to provide infrastructure in order to continue to open up our border communities along the axis. It is, in fact, an assertion of our strategic and deliberate approach to reposition all our industrial hubs in our dear state. And, no doubt, Ogun West, especially the Agbara Industrial Estate in Nigeria, which is one of the biggest industrial estates, remains key to the development of Ogun State,’ he stated.

‘In this direction, the completion of Atan-Lusada-Agbara, which is expected in the next few months, will go a long way towards improving the quality of life and advancement of commerce in Ogun West and other industrial hubs in Ogun State.

‘And, I am very optimistic that, at completion, this Atan-Lusada-Agbara Road will not only improve Ease Doing Business in this area, but bring a wholesome development to the entire Ogun West District,’ Abiodun stated.

In his remark at the event, Chairman, Senate Committee on Works, Adamu Aliero, assured the Ogun State Government that the committee would ensure that the reconstruction work on Atan-Lusada-Agbara road is included in the 2022 appropriation bill.

The senator noted that the Abiodun administration had thought it wise to reconstruct the federal government road because of concern for the people of the state.

He described the initiative as a symbol of good governance which must be appreciated, while urging the governor to ask for reimbursement from the government at the centre upon the completion of the project.

‘This road is a federal government road, but because of concern you have for your people you decided to embark on the reconstruction of the road because of its economic value, not only to the state, but to the country. This is what good governance is all about.

‘I want to urge you to ask for reimbursement from the Federal Government upon the completion of this project. This project is much more important to Ogun State and by extension Nigeria. I appreciate you for this initiative, it is a right step in the right for the benefit of the country.

‘We’ll give the necessary support to ensure that this project is included in the 2022 budget,’ Aliero stated.

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo, lauded the governor for taking the bold step to rehabilitate the industrial road, noting his ministry would continue to collaborate with the state on areas of trade and investment.

In their respective remarks, Senator Olamilekan Adeola and former senator who represented Ogun West at the NASS, Akin Odunsi, expressed their delight at the decision to reconstruct the road after years of abandonment.

Sunnybay7:
Long over due.

Honestly, I pity those living on that axis.

Is the flag of necessary? Is the governor that idle to attend such and why not let his commissioner of works announce it over the radio?

Wondering why Loral involved themselves in this act of mediocrity.

My pastor. very slow man he's prayer points go slow

Something to think about

Make sure it's completed.

Seems anytime a governor of ogun state need money to embezzle they start this thing ,before election they will allocate this contract to another firm again

Please sir , remember to work on Abule Iroko road via Sango Otta.

Nice one from abiodun, please look into the roads of the state.

Ok

Ogun and incompetent governors

What about Sango otta road network?
This is a raining season again, we can't use our cars on that road, we will climb bike and wait for dry season to come to use car. Sango ota is a home of manufacturing factories and we pay our tax to both federal govt and state govt. May God help us
