Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun has approved the reconstruction of the Magboro-Makogi 8.17 kilometres road in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.
The governor announced this on Monday at the flag-off of the 2024 rice harvesting season, which took place in Igboko village.
According to him, the approval will also cover the Magboro underbridge.
The governor said that reconstructing the road would open up the area to more development.
Mr Abiodun said that the state government intended to provide about 2,000 hectares for rice cultivation in the region.
“I am glad that today, I had the opportunity to drive on this road myself.
“I have seen the condition of the road but beyond the condition, I have also seen how densely populated this area is.
“I also appreciate the impact this road will have on our farmland.
“So, today, I know that I am a promise-keeping governor. I only talk and do; I don’t talk without doing,” the governor said.
