He disclosed that more than 20 township roads have been reconstructed in Ijebu-Ode, including Awujale Road, Ijebu-Ode–Epe–Mojoda Road, Molipa–Fusigboye Road, Stadium–Luba–Gateway Annex Road, Imoru Road, Tam-Balogun Road, Osinubi Road, and several others, with additional projects currently ongoing.
Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, said the completed roads were executed to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time, and stimulate local commerce.
Chairman of Ijebu-Ode Local Government, Hon. Dare Alebiosu, noted that the improved road network has boosted economic activities and strengthened public confidence in government.
Also speaking, the lawmaker representing Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu North-East and Odogbolu Federal Constituency, Barr. Femi Ogunbanwo, praised the governor’s consistent investment in infrastructure across Ijebu land.
Market leaders, represented by the Otun Akile Iyaloja of Ijebu-Ode, Mrs. Kikelomo Olufunmi, said the roads would ease movement of goods and enhance trading activities.
Traditional rulers and community leaders at the event commended the governor for delivering on his promises, describing the projects as impactful and timely for the development of the area.
