Kayode Akinmade: Abiodun’s Road Revolution, Connecting Forgotten Communities to Economic Corridors

Since taking office in May 2019, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has made infrastructure a priority in a state where deteriorating roads had left rural communities isolated. About 1,700 kilometres of roads have been built or rehabilitated across the state’s 20 local government areas, and the government aims to reach 2,000 kilometres before the end of his tenure. The projects are intended to improve travel and access to markets, schools and healthcare while supporting Ogun’s commercial and industrial activity.
