Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, inspected the progress of the construction work on 100.5km Obelle-Ilaro-Papalanto-Shagamu Road, a major infrastructure project being executed by Dangote Group under the Tax Credit Scheme.
During the inspection, Governor Abiodun stressed the significance of the road to Ogun State and Nigeria at large.
He stated that upon the completion of the project, it will provide a crucial alternative route for commuters from Sango, Iyana Ipaja, and Itori, reducing reliance on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and bypassing Abeokuta to reach the Sagamu Interchange seamlessly.
Governor Abiodun emphasized the road’s strategic importance in boosting trade and logistics, saying that it will help improve connectivity to the Kajola Dry Port, a key hub linked to the railway network connecting Kano and other parts of the country.
The Ogunsakin State governor restated his administration’s commitment to fostering partnerships that drive infrastructure development and economic growth, ensuring Ogun State remains a leading investment destination in Nigeria.
