Ogun State Government has awarded the contracts for the reconstruction of the road network from Ilara in Remo North to Ilishan in the Ikenne Local Government Area of the state, and others as part of its sustained drive to transform the state’s infrastructure for socioeconomic development.
The State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, disclosed this on Saturday during the Afotamodi Day Grand Finale with the theme “A Legacy of Culture and Tradition” held at the AUD Primary School, Isara-Remo.
The governor also announced that his administration had re-awarded the reconstruction of Awolowo Road in Ikenne, following the inability of the initial contractor to complete the project due to his failing health.
Abiodun also added that Phase 3 of the Sagamu-Iperu-Ode-Saapade Road had been awarded, promising that the project will be completed on time.
He explained: “I am saddened by the change of events regarding the contract we awarded for Awolowo Way. The contractor is indisposed at the moment, and God owns good health. Because of that, he can’t complete that contract. I have ordered that the contract be cancelled and re-awarded to another contractor. Very soon, that road project will be completed.
“We have also awarded the road from Ode to Isara; from that police station to Isara. The contractor will soon start work as soon as the rain stops.
“We have also awarded the contract from Ilara to Ilishan. The road that was affected by the airport is about 8 kilometres long. The contractor has resumed and commenced work. The road will pass through Ode to Akaka; it is a very long road. By the grace of God, that road will soon be completed.
“I also know that you are aware we have awarded Phase 3 of the Sagamu-Iperu-Ode-Saapade Road, and the contractor has started work on it. By the grace of God, that road will be completed”, he added.
Abiodun expressed his appreciation to the people of Isara for their contributions to the success of his administration, adding that he will continue to support the town and the people in their quest to develop it.
The governor donated N20 million towards the development of Isara-Remo, even as he promised to celebrate the next edition of the festival with the people of the town.
Earlier in his remarks, the Odemo of Isara-Remo, Oba Adebose Mayungbe, commended the sons and daughters of the town for their love and support, and thanked the governor for his love for his people and the state as a whole.
