Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has assured residents of the State of his administration’s determination to sustain the present tempo of infrastructural development across the State.
The Governor made the pledge while commissioning a newly constructed hospital road in Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government on Tuesday, promising the people of the area more projects to enhance economic development.
Governor Abiodun noted that his administration has constructed over 600 kilometers of road across the state in the last five years, adding that more roads would be commissioned at Iperu and Ilaro during the week.
He emphasized that the Ogijo community is one of the industrial areas of the state, enjoying gas reticulation, and that his administration has solved the electricity challenges that affected the community for decades through the provision of transformers and other electric accessories.
The Governor explained that constructing the road was in keeping with his promise when he visited the area about a year ago, saying despite the difficulty faced by the contractors in the course of construction, they were able to surmount and deliver the project on time.
He stressed that road infrastructure is one of the key catalysts that engendered development, positing that the commissioned road would boost commercial activities in the area as it leads to several communities.
“This community is very important to us, apart from being a border town, it is also an industrial area. I can assure you that this community will experience more development. I call on the Kabiyesi to work with the local government chairman, community development associations, and all relevant stakeholders and come up with projects according to their priority for immediate execution,” he said.
While emphasizing that his administration would not make empty promises, the governor said the event was to kickstart a series of projects commissioning to mark the first year of his second term in office.
