- Several buildings marked for demolition are currently being pulled down to pave the way for the expansion of the deplorable 64-kilometre Ota-Idiroko Road.

Newsypeople- The government is making good progress in upgrading roads in Ogun State. They have started working on the Sango, Ota/Idiroko Expressway.
This 64-kilometer road links Nigeria to Benin, and it needed repairs for a long time.
As part of the project, some buildings along the road will need to be removed to make more space.
This may cause problems for some landlords and tenants, but it is necessary to make the road safer and allow traffic to flow smoothly.
The Ota-Idiroko Road reconstruction is happening through a government program that encourages private companies to fund road projects.
Globacom Limited has offered to build the road using this program, and they are currently working on the design phase.
In addition to the Ota-Idiroko Road, the government is also considering repairing the Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta expressway. The National Association of Ogun State Students has asked the Minister of Works to ensure this project goes ahead as promised.
Fixing these roads is very important for Ogun State’s economy and the surrounding areas. It will make travel easier, reduce journey times, and help the movement of goods and services.
The government’s commitment to these projects shows their dedication to improving Nigeria’s infrastructure and creating a better environment for economic growth.
