The Governor visited Engineer Dave Umahi, Minister of Works, to express his appreciation for the “ongoing 34km Ikorodu-Itokin road reconstruction”.
According to Governor Sanwo-Olu: “I, alongside Senator Tokunbo Abiru, visited the Minister of Works, Engineer Dave Umahi to express appreciation for the ongoing 34km Ikorodu-Itokin road reconstruction.
“The road, originally built in 1975 under General Yakubu Gowon and General Mobolaji Johnson, is crucial for economic growth. Senator Abiru’s motion in April 2021 emphasized the road’s significance as a key access point linking various parts of the country.
“We advocated for the dualisation of the road to enhance its capacity. Minister Umahi assured us that the design for the dualisation would commence soon. The current rehabilitation work has already improved travel along the corridor.
“We also extended our thanks to HE President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his consistent support for road infrastructure projects nationwide.”
