Obasanjo Neglected Abeokuta–Abule Egba Road – Onanuga by treesun(op): 11:12am On Aug 24, 2024
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says work has commenced on the Abeokuta-Ifo-Sango-Abule Egba Highway abandoned by past administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.


Onanuga said the road became a huge embarrassment due to neglect.

He commended Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State for taking on the road construction after Tinubu’s administration transferred it to the state government.


Posting the commencement of the road construction via his X page, Abiodun wrote: “Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun at the flag-off ceremony for the reconstruction of the Abeokuta/Ifo/Sango/Abule-Egba Road, we welcomed all attendees and expressed our gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the transfer of this critical project to Ogun State.

“This road, spanning 70 kilometres, is vital for connecting key regions within Ogun and Lagos States, supporting both local and national economic activities, and serving as a crucial link to neighbouring West African countries.

“We assured our citizens that the road will be reconstructed to world-class standards, with features such as drainage systems, sidewalks, and traffic signs. The project is expected to create jobs for both skilled and unskilled workers, boost economic activity, and improve the quality of life for residents.


“The reconstruction effort is part of our broader strategy to enhance infrastructure across Ogun State, contributing to job creation, poverty alleviation, and food security.”

Reacting, Onanuga said: “Work begins on the Abeokuta-Ifo-Sango-Abule Egba Highway. The very important road was neglected during the Obasanjo presidency and became a huge embarrassment to the people of Ogun state.

“We must show appreciation to Governor Abiodun for taking on the reconstruction of the road, after the Tinubu administration transferred it to the Ogun State Government.”

Abule egba/ Abeokuta road is the reason many Ogun State people hates him till today.

This lousy man again.
Must you highlight who didn't do it before doing it?
After OBJ there was Yaradua GEJ, and even a lanky man named Buhari under your calamitous APC, why must it be OBJ who should do it when it isnt even a federal road?
These content creators are amazing.

Like one popular skit makers, they put on agbada and make skit all day.

Obasanjo that left government 16 years ago?

Walahi aiye yin ti ta pau.

Wasn't Osinbanjo,A Son of Ogun a VP for 8 years just yesterday? Even left Dimeji Bankole, the Number 4 Man at a time and a Son of Ogun too

You left Osinbanjo, left GEJ,Left Yaradua and went to Obasanjo?

Just because he refused to honour TINUBUs invitation to Aso Rock.

If Snobbing TINUBU by Obasanjo isn't painful, why not do the road without una normal theatrics?

Useless things cool

This people are so stupid honestly.
OBJ left it fine, so those who came after him since then what did they dohuh

During Buhari's tenure all you could see on the road was the SUKUK signpost while they kept filling the whole road with substandard materials which didn't even last few months before it became worse than before.

Imagine a federal expressway in such an embarrassing condition and every government kept looking the other way like it what nothing.

There are holes on that road that could actually be used as reservoir right now grin

Obasanjo, the darling of igbo people. The man that loves every other tribe more than his own.

With that man, charity does not begin at home.

History beckons.

Foolish people.. What OBJ achieved in 8 years as president u and Buhari plus tinubu can't achieve it in 100 years.

Even the foreign reserve they are shouting it's 32 billion dollars who saved it?

How much did OBJ inherited from Abacha and he saved that huge money plus excess crude account that ran to over 40 billion dollars. When oil was sold at roughly 9 dollar per barrel

Obasanjo was one of the most inefficient presidents this country ever produced. He couldn't even fix Lagos-Ibadan express road, neither did he fix Ota road, a federal road in his own state...

Yet baba's achievement is "bringing GSM to Nigeria" as if he owns the telcos that came to invest...

Even after leaving office in 2007, Obasanjo is the most serious problem of APC since 2015.

People without longterm plan to focus on will resort to looking for anything to blame.

APC is worst than a cult group!

Smh....so what have other presidents and governors done to that road since Obasanjo left office?

When he was on the side of supporting Buhari in 2015,you didn't remind him about the road but because he has been critical of Buhari and now Tinubu,you are trying to remind him of a road he didn't do more than a decade ago...smh

Obasanjo is only good at writing letters and seeing other people's deficiencies but he's totally blind to his own inadequacies. such a person is a selfish blind hypocrite.

Shut up if you don’t know what he is talking. Onanuga is right. Obasanjo regime neglected the road leading to his farm in Ota. We live there and we know it.
