Ogun roads can’t be fixed in 20 years – Governor Abiodun

Those expecting all the bad roads in Ogun State to be fixed within a short time may be disappointed as the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, has said the task cannot be completed in 20 years.
He said this on Tuesday while addressing the people of Iberekodo and Arakanga, in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state.
Gov Abiodun said the condition of the roads in the area made it look like his intervention on roads had not yielded the desired results, adding that even if someone rules the state for 20 years, all the roads could still not be fixed.
However, the governor assured the residents of his determination to complete the roads in the area, which he said was started by the previous administration.
According to him, the road linking Ogun with Oyo State is of utmost priority to his government.
He said, “On my way coming here, I saw this road and I felt bad because the road is too bad. And we are currently embarking on construction of roads across the state, but this road now makes it look like we have not done anything. All these roads cannot be completed even in 20 years. But we are determined to do this road.”
The governor, who was in the area to inspect the Arakanga Water Works, expressed confidence that Abeokuta residents would soon begin to enjoy uninterrupted supply of good water.
He said that the completion and installation of five ‘Barage Gates’ at the Arakanga dam would allow for proper damming and effective distribution of potable water to the people.
