The Ogun State Government has commended the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration for finally transferring the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta Expressway to the state.
Penpushing reports that the Secretary to State Government, Tokunbo Talabi in a statement on Tuesday recalled that Governor Dapo Abiodun-led administration had made several requests to the Federal Government to take over the road, even before its total collapse
The statement described the Tinubu administration as a listening government that is ready to jettison the existing schism between the federal government and the federating units having conceded to the Ogun State Governorment to handle the road project
Penpushing further reports that the statement equally commended the Minister of Works for following on his words to ensure a paradigm shift from what was obtained before in the rehabilitation of federal roads across the state.
The statement added that the Ogun state government noted that necessary machineries are being put in motion to ensure the early kick-off of the project, and urged motorists plying the road to be patient with the state government as succour is on the way.
Penpushing also reports that it is recalled that the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi while speaking after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja on Monday, announced the transfer of the ever-busy road to the Ogun State Government, while the reconstruction efforts would be done under the Highway Development and Management Initiative (HDMI).
