The governor of Ogun state, Prince Dapo Abiodun in a statement revealed that the chairman of Dangote Group and Company, Alhaji Aliko Dangote inspected an ongoing construction that will eliminate the usage of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, in the state on Monday.

In his words: “Alhaji Aliko Dangote and I stopped to inspect the ongoing construction of the 100.5km Obelle-Ilaro-Papalanto-Shagamu road, a vital infrastructure project being executed by Dangote Group under the Tax Credit Scheme.

“This road holds immense significance for Ogun State and Nigeria at large. Once completed, it will provide a seamless alternative route for commuters from Sango, Iyana Ipaja, and Itori, eliminating the need to use the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway or pass through Abeokuta to access the Sagamu Interchange.

 “Additionally, this strategic road will enhance connectivity to the Kajola Dry Port, which serves as a key interception point for the rail line linking Kano and other parts of the country. We remain committed to fostering partnerships that drive infrastructure development and economic growth in Ogun State.”
