Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has disclosed that his administration is making move to award the contract for the reconstruction of the Ikenne township road.
Abiodun revealed this at weekend during the 47th yearly Ikenne Ereke Day celebration with the theme, ‘Divine Year of Accomplishment’, held at the Ereke Civic Centre, Ikenne, in the state.
He noted that the road would begin from Aiyepe junction to Uren river, adding that the reconstruction of the road would complement the completion of the stretch of the road coming from Sagamu.
He equally said that the model school built and abandoned by the immediate past administration in the state would soon be converted to a world class centre of excellence by his administration.
“I will soon be awarding the Ikenne township road contract and that will start from the Aiyepe junction to Uren River. That will complete the stretch coming from Sagamu and it will give this town the beauty it deserves.
“We have completed the Sagamu-Ikenne road. I know some of our brothers and sisters in Ikenne would have wanted us to dualise it.”
“As a government, our decisions are driven by data. That road does not enjoy enough traffic to allow us to dualise it. So, we looked at the cost benefit and decided that we would complete one side of the road and when that traffic justifies it, we will now complete the other part.”
Remarking, the wife of the former Vice President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, had earlier rejoiced with the sons and daughters of the town, describing them as special people.
