Speaking during the visit, the governor said: “From toll gate to underneath the bridge at Sango Ota, I am very confident that between two to three weeks, it would have completed the stretch of the road from tollgate to the bridge.

“I also inspected the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta road, starting from the old tollgate section, which is completely nonexistent, it has failed. I have since awarded the contract for sectional rehabilitation of that road, all the way to Ewekoro. Work has started. I am not happy with the speed of work, I have called the contractor, he will double up from tomorrow.

“The road to Ijoko-Alagbole, we have divided it into five sections. The road will be reconstructed in sections. Presently, we will do between two to three sections at the same time.”
