Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta road needs urgent repairs to relieve its users of further harrowing experience.
He promised Federal Government’s assistance to put the road in a better shape, as well as other Federal roads across the state.
The Senate President relived his experience on the deplorable state of Federal roads he passed through while travelling from Lagos to Ilaro in Ogun State at the weekend.
Akpabio made the promise at the grand finale of the Yewa Cultural Festival with the theme: Celebration of Culture, Tradition, Music, Cuisine, and Dance, held at the ultra-modern pavilion, Empire Field in Ilaro, the headquarters of Yewa South Local Government Area, where he was installed Aare Fiwagboye of Yewa land.
The Senate President said he insisted on driving to the venue for him to have first-hand knowledge of what people go through on the road every day.
According to him, it took his team more than two hours to drive from Lagos to Ilaro.
Akpabio promised that the Senate would ensure that the construction of the road is awarded to a competent contractor, saying the Upper Chamber would work with Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration to complete the job.
