Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has announced significant progress on the long-awaited reconstruction of the Lagos-Abeokuta Road, emphasising intensified construction across multiple sections.
In a statement shared on X, the governor detailed the advancements, “We continue to record steady and measurable progress on the reconstruction of the Lagos–Abeokuta Road, with intensified construction activities ongoing across key sections including Itori, Papalanto, Ifo, Ewekoro and towards the Sango axis.”
He highlighted specific works underway, noting that “Rigid pavement works and reinforced concrete drainage are advancing at Ewekoro and along the Ewekoro–Papalanto corridor, while asphalt laying of both binder and wearing courses has been completed in parts of Sango Ota and Obada Oko.”
Abiodun added that “Across other sections of the route, grading, spreading and compaction of sub-base materials are actively underway, particularly around the Itori axis and Iyana Ilogbo.”
These updates underscore the state’s focus on quality infrastructure.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s dedication, stating, “These sustained efforts reflect our unwavering commitment to delivering a durable, high-quality Lagos–Abeokuta Road that will ease traffic flow, improve safety, and stimulate economic activities across Ogun State.”
The project, a critical corridor linking Lagos and Ogun, has faced delays in the past but now shows promising momentum amid ongoing federal-state collaboration.
