Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, on Wednesday, launched the Sagamu-Iperu-Ode-Sapade road as part of the events celebrating the first anniversary of his second term in office. Additionally, Abiodun also revealed the contract award for the construction of the Siun-Ogere-Iperu-Ilisan Road.
On Tuesday, the governor visited Ogijo in Sagamu Local Government Area to reveal the well-known Hospital Road in the town.
During the event, he pledged to continue the progress of the current infrastructural development throughout the state. At the ceremony marking the completion of phases one and two of the eight-kilometre road, Abiodun highlighted that the Siun-Ilisan Road would enhance the road networks that are already existing, ensuring smooth travel in the area.
He said that “This road starts from Ikorodu. It is connected to Lagos and passes through Sagamu to Iperu to Ibadan to the rest of the country.
“Before we constructed this road, it used to take about seven hours to get to Ibadan from Lagos. But now, you can travel from Lagos to Ikorodu to Ogijo to Sagamu in less than 50 minutes”.
Abiodun mentioned that the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport has received a license to start non-scheduled flight operations, and they are awaiting approval for scheduled flights.
