Ogun State Government has said it will today begin palliative works on the deplorable Sango-Ota-Joju road.
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Kunle Somorin said yesterday that engineers had been instructed to begin work on the road.
He added that the discomfort the bad road had subjected residents and motorists to, had made it important to put in place the palliative measures.
He, however, said that the palliative road works, which would run concurrently with the ongoing rehabilitation work on Sango Ota-Idiroko road, sought to bring succour and make the road usable, pending completion of its reconstruction by Julius Berger Nigeria PLC.
“On the instructions of Governor Abiodun, engineers will today begin palliative works on Sango Ota-Joju road in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government.
“The development is coming regardless of the ownership of the road by the Federal Government. The deplorable condition of the road makes it important to put in place palliative measures.
“These palliative road works, which will run concurrently with what is going at Sango Ota-Idiroko road, are to bring succour and make the road passable, pending completion of its reconstruction by Julius Berger Nigeria PLC,” the statement said.
