The Ogun State Government says it has constructed over 1,600 kilometres of roads since 2019 and is targeting 2,000 kilometres before the end of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s tenure.
Commissioner for Works, Ade Akinsanya, disclosed this on Sunrise Daily, stating that road projects are ongoing across all 20 local government areas.
He said the administration inherited over 4,000 kilometres of dilapidated roads and adopted a statewide infrastructure strategy focused on rural connectivity, economic hubs and access to schools.
Akinsanya cited key projects, including the 70-kilometre Ota–Abeokuta road and rehabilitated links such as Ajuwon–Akute, Alhaji Kosoko–Akute and Yakoyo–Alagbole, which have improved connectivity with neighbouring Lagos communities.
Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, said infrastructure projects are evenly distributed statewide, dismissing claims of uneven development as misleading.
The officials reaffirmed the government’s commitment to expanding road infrastructure before the administration winds down.
