The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, on Monday, declared open the Arepo Journalist Estate Road, Arepo, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.
The 2.5km double lanes interlocking tiles road has culverts and drainage on both sides, dividers, street lights and traffic signs.
The road connects 41 neighbourhoods in the community and leads directly to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Speaking at the event, Abiodun stated that the project was a fulfilment of his administration’s promise to the community.
He said, “Many of you will recall that during my electioneering campaign in 2018/2019, I promised that I will reconstruct this road. This road had become a nightmare and was causing untold hardship to the people residing in this community.
“I return today to celebrate and to fulfil that promise we made to you in 2018.”
In his goodwill message, the Olu of Arepo, Oba Atanda Oyebi, appreciated the governor for the road construction.
