The Ogun State Government has launched a new round of road maintenance projects across the state ahead of the Christmas season.
The programme, overseen by the Ogun State Public Works Agency (OGPWA), is designed to improve road quality, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance safety for residents, travellers, and visitors.
Commenting on the renewed efforts on Thursday, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Public Works, Babatunde Adesina, emphasized that the initiative is part of an ongoing road enhancement plan intended to stimulate economic activity and promote safer movement throughout the state.
Adesina said the state was committed to ensuring that major and inner roads remained motorable throughout and after the festive period.
“We understand that the Yuletide season comes with increased movement and it is our responsibility to ensure that the roads are safe and accessible. This new phase of maintenance demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing reliable infrastructure for the people of Ogun State.”
He explained that the ongoing repairs would focus on high-traffic corridors, link roads and critical routes connecting major communities, adding that the agency had already deployed multiple teams across the three senatorial districts to ensure timely completion.
“Our teams are on the field carrying out pothole patching and other essential repairs. We want residents and travellers to experience smoother movement as they go about their activities during this festive period,” Adesina added.
He encouraged the general public to support the agency by reporting areas requiring urgent attention, as community feedback would always play key roles in the agency’s rapid-response efforts.
