Abdul-Yekin Alli Watchers of developments in the country’s political landscape must have been thrilled with last weekend’s pronouncements by the Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, reiterating his administration’s commitment to completing the road projects awarded but abandoned by the immediate-past administration of Senator Ibikunle Amosun. As the governor promised, special attention would be given to such roads that have direct socioeconomic impact on residents of the state, just as more funds would be allocated to the ongoing construction of the 53 kilometre Lafenwa-Ayetoro Road to ensure its early completion. Governor Abiodun made the declaration while inspecting three key road projects, including the Lafenwa-Ayetoro, Panseke-Adigbe-Opako and Oke-Lantoro-Elite-Idi Aba roads in Abeokuta, the state capital. The projects awarded by his predecessor, he observed, ought to have been given more priority than they were , being major arterial roads between Ogun Central and Ogun West. His words: “We are committed to the quick completion of Lafenwa-Ayetoro Road, because it accounts for thousands of our citizens traveling between Ayetoro and Abeokuta for commerce, school and work.” Abiodun also gave assurances on the Oke-Lantoro-Elite-Idi Aba Road, saying the power transformer serving the area would be fixed before the Easter celebrations.
