“Rehabilitation/upgrading of Aiyetoro road is a border road linking Lagos with Ogun State. It is a one-kilometre earth road, which for many years, has been characterised by gullies and craters, thereby impeding vehicular movement. The road is upgraded to a dual carriageway to include the construction of a new bridge.
