President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated some key projects in Ogun State, assuring citizens that two major Federal roads under construction, the Sagamu-Benin Expressway and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, would be commissioned before this year.
Buhari, while addressing residents of the State, commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for delivering trail-blazing projects for the people, even in the midst of prevailing and challenging circumstances occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The President’s Special Media Aide Femi Adesina in a statement said Buhari described Abiodun as the ‘performing Governor of Nigeria’s Gateway State, adding that the Governor is a worthy example of ‘promises made, promises kept.’
Responding to requests by the State governor to give priority to the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta and the Sango Otta-Idiroko Roads, Buhari assured the people of Ogun State that these roads will receive Federal Government attention.
The President also said the Federal Government would consider extending tax credit as funding option for the reconstruction of these roads, as done for the 100 kilometres Sagamu Interchange-Papalanto-Ilaro Road.
