Promises more projects, rural electrification
Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, yesterday, commissioned Esure Road in Ijebu-Mushin, Ijebu East Council of the state.

The official commissioning of the road was part of the governor’s tour of the council area.

Abiodun said that the light-up-the-rural-areas project of his administration would commence in earnest with the distribution of electricity transformers and solar system this week.

He vowed that people in the hard-to-reach areas in the state would experience a new lease of life with the provision of electricity in their respective communities.

He said the construction of the 2.1kilometres Esure Road was in keeping with the promises he made in 2021 during the campaign for the council election.

He noted that the road, apart from linking the first College of Health Technology in the state, would reduce the wear and tear of vehicles plying it, calling on the people to maintain it.

In his welcome address, Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Akin Adesanya, said the road was part of the administration’s inclusive policy to ensure that all parts of the state benefit from developmental projects.

He said the road, which was built to standard, would reduce the stress motorists go through while boosting the economy activities in the area.

Chairman of the council, Wale Adedayo, appreciated the governor for reconstructing the road, pleading with him to help in providing access road in Yemoji area as the axis is currently witnessing increased development.
