The Ogun State Government has provided illumination at the under-bridge area along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and subsequently at the four intersections of the Sagamu Interchange.

The government cleared illegal shanties, shops, and stalls in the area to deprive criminals of cover, and undertook adequate illumination of the area through solar street lights.

Recently, the Ogun State Government, in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Kayode Akinmade, stated that it was fully aware of the situation in the area and would never allow criminals to continue to launch attacks on innocent citizens.

Previously, as part of its response to the reported activities of criminals in the area, the government had deployed police and Amotekun operatives to make it safe for residents and travelers.

Apart from mandating personnel from the Bureau of Electrical Engineering Services to deploy solar street lights under the bridge, the government extended the solar street lights to the roundabouts and along the inward and outward routes of the four intersections.

This intervention is part of the Light-Up Project of the Dapo Abiodun Administration on key infrastructural projects.

While the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is a federal highway, the intervention is meant to stem the security concerns widely circulated on social media by residents of the state.
