Over the weekend, Prince Dapo Abiodun, the Governor of Ogun State, announced that his administration would soon allocate the contract for the reconstruction of the Ikenne township road.
This road project is set to commence from the Aiyepe junction. Governor Abiodun shared this information during the 47th annual Ikenne Ereke Day celebration, which had the theme ‘Divine Year of Accomplishment’ and took place at the Ereke Civic Center in Ikenne.
The governor emphasized that the redevelopment of the township road would complement the completed segment of the road coming from Sagamu. He also disclosed that the model school, previously constructed but left unutilized by the previous administration, would be transformed into a World Class Center of Excellence under his administration’s guidance.
Governor Abiodun stated, “I will soon be awarding the Ikenne township road contract, beginning from the Aiyepe junction to Uren River. This will finalize the stretch coming from Sagamu and enhance the town’s aesthetics. We have finished the Sagamu-Ikenne road. Although some residents wished for a dual carriageway, we made data-driven decisions and concluded that it didn’t justify the cost for now. However, we plan to complete the other part when traffic conditions merit it.”
Furthermore, he announced that the Ogun State Agro Cargo Airport, which was initially a forest two years ago, would be commissioned by the end of 2023, with commercial activities set to begin. The governor also mentioned plans for a dry port in the state to facilitate trade and transportation.
In an effort to enhance the state’s revenue, Governor Abiodun attributed the rise in internally generated revenue to the strong political determination of his administration. He expressed his commitment to further improving the state’s economic prospects and development.
Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of the former Vice President, extended her congratulations to the people of Ikenne during the event, acknowledging their special status.
