Governor Dapo Abiodun has said the bad roads
in Ogun State cannot completed in the next 20
years.
Abiodun 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 has not yielded the desired results,
stating that even if someone rules the state for
20 years, all the roads cannot 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.
I can’t do everything or please everyone – Gov
Abiodun
“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,”
he assured.
DAILY POST reports that Abiodun was in the
area to inspect the Arakanga Water works,
expressing confidence that Abeokuta residents
will soon begin to enjoy uninterrupted supply of
pipe borne 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.
Abiodun blamed the previous administration for
the stoppage in water supply, alleging that it
failed to mandate contractors to repair water
installations destroyed during road
constructions.
