He said, “A total of 385 roads across the state have been worked on from January 2021 till date. Among the 385 roads, 100 strategic roads have been rehabilitated, routine maintenance was carried out on over 268 roads and 17 roads were maintained using palliative approaches.

Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commissioned four critical road projects in Agbado-Oke Odo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of the state, bringing huge relief inflow of traffic from the Lagos boundary communities into Ogun State.
The newly constructed road network, totaling 6.26 kilometres, which is in fulfilment of yet another promise to the people of Alimosho, include Old Otta Road, Adekoya Road, Makinde Road and Suberu Oje Road.
Each project is a dual carriageway with reinforced concrete drains and walkways.
The governor also on Friday commissioned a 120-metre long bridge linking the boundary communities to Otta in Ogun State.
