Ogun State Government has stepped up action on its determination towards ensuring good road network in the rural areas.
It has, therefore, handed over ten graders to Local Government and LCDAs Chairmen for the project.
Speaking at the hand-over ceremony, the Ogun State Governor Senator Ibikunle said the graders were crucial equipment needed for the successful completion of the project.
He urged the concerned Local Government authorities to ensure they were effectively mobilised and maintained to achieve the rural infrastructural development programme of the current administration.
Represented by the Deputy Governor, Chief Mrs Yetunde Onanuga, Governor Amosun assured that his administration would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that no local government and LCDA would be marginalised in the programme which according to him was very dear to his administration.
“We are aware that most Agricultural produce comes from the rural areas, hence this makes it necessary for good accessible road, for the transportation of the products to the market, as the efforts would in no small measure add values to the citizens”, he said
While explaining the distribution modality of the graders, the Governor explained that each Federal constituency in the State would be given one for grading aspect of the proposed rural road project.
In their Goodwill messages, the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Suraj Adekunmbi said the Governor had always kept his promises since the inception of his administration, and expressed optimism that the Government would continue more developmental strides for the benefit of the people.
Also the Chairman of Ado-Odo LCDA, Engr. Saheed Alagbe commended the Government of Ogun State on its efforts to rebuilding the State, which he said was a good omen for the people.
