The Ogun State Government has lamented the refusal of the Federal Government to grant it permission to fix two roads.
The Federal roads which are critical in linking the state to the neighbouring ones are currently in bad shape, leading to harrowing experiences for commuters.
Expressing frustration over its inability to get approval to fix the roads, the Ogun State Government in a post on its verified Facebook handle stated that “In 2019, Governor Dapo Abiodun sought permission of the Federal Government to dualise the four major federal roads linking the state and Lagos state (Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta, Sagamu-Ikorodu, Atan-Lusada-Agbara and Ijebu-Ode-Mojoda-Epe) under the public Private sector partnership arrangement.
“Sadly, the state government was unable got get an approval to touch Sagamu-Ikorodu and Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta roads till date.
“To ameliorate the suffering of road users plying this route, the governor has ordered that immediate palliative should be carried out. To this effect, we’ve commenced palliative roadworks on the failed section of Sagamu-Ikorodu road which is a known Federal government road.”
