Speed up work on Lagos-Abeokuta road, students beg FG

The National Association of Ogun State Students has called for a speedy reconstruction of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway in view of the vital nature of the road to the people of Ogun State and the country.

NAOSS National President, Emmanuel Ogunrombi, made the call in a statement on Friday in Abuja while applauding the Governor, Dapo Abiodun, for taking over the reconstruction of the project.

The statement read in part, “We applaud Governor Abiodun’s decisive action to address the deplorable state of this critical transport link to other parts of the country. This signifies his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the citizens of Ogun State.

“This comes as a beacon of hope for those who have endured the daily challenges imposed by the road’s poor condition. The completion of the Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway/Olomore-Brewery Road will bring about a multitude of positive impacts to the people of the state and the country at large.

“Beyond the immediate relief for commuters, this infrastructure upgrade promises to stimulate economic growth by enabling the seamless movement of goods and people between Lagos and Abeokuta. Additionally, the improved road conditions will lead to enhanced road safety, sparing countless lives from unnecessary risk,” NAOSS said.

Ogunrombi further stated that while the project has been spearheaded by the Ogun State government, it falls under the jurisdiction of federal responsibilities.
