The All Progressives Congress, APC, has lauded the initiative of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State to construct a 50-kilometre road to link coastal communities in the state with Lagos State.
According to a statement signed by Abayomi Adesanya, the state APC Publicity Secretary, on Thursday in Lagos, the party described the project as “laudable and remarkable’’.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mr. Akeredolu had on April 5 signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to construct the road.
The road is expected to connect Araromi Seaside in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State with Akodo in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The road is expected to be completed within two and half years.
Mr. Adesanya said, “This is laudable and remarkable, because in less than 100 days of the APC-led administration in the state, the governor has attracted such a monumental project to the state.
“The first and only MoU ever signed by NDDC with any state government within its mandate area (the Niger-Delta region).
“The people of Ilaje and the Niger-Delta areas of the state have rolled out drums to thank Akeredolu and NDDC for this laudable stride.”

He said that when completed the road would help to decongest the Benin-Ore-Lagos Expressway.
“Once this project is completed, the people can now travel to Lagos by road in less than an hour, as against the usual four to five hours being spent through other roads to Lagos,” he said.
Mr. Adesanya assured the people of the state that more of such laudable projects would be executed by the Akeredolu-led government in the state.

The road wouldn't pass through Oyo and Ogun State?

Good

it's a welcomed development...nice

if completed

You mean his ancestral home?

This is nice

To build?..or to construct

I hope he keeps to his word.

Two and half years for 50 kilometers?

Wonderful

God Bless you


But

I shook my head yesterday and nearly cried when I saw Arakunrin Akeredolu on television with Victor Ndoma-Egba.

I really do not know where to start my questions.

Does this mean Ogun no longer has boundaries with Lagos?
Does this mean Ondo and Lagos connect without Ogun?
Or they would construct the roads on water stylishly bypassing Ogun?
Is an MOU also a contract-awarding document?
If so, who got the contract?
How much is involved?
Who is financing the project? Only NDDC and Ondo gov't?
Is that the end to Olokola Free Trade Zone? A project if started and completed is far better and economical than Lekki FTZ?
I can go on and on.
Dr. Mimiko and his cohorts signed hundreds of MOU which all ended in the waste bin.
We won't be carried away this time around!

The bearded cat is working

The guy no fit. I challenge him. I will trek along that road naked if he can build it.

I wonder how many year will take our government to construct 200 Km
