“The Ejinrin road will start from the Ibadan Garage roundabout through the Erinlu roundabout all the way to the Okun-Owa road. That is the stretch; that road will connect three local governments of Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu North East and Odogbolu local government areas of the state,” he said.

Akinsanya who further noted that the present administration in the state since inception had embarked on the construction of the Ota-Rayower-Ikola road; Ashafa -Oke and Ashafa- Isale roads; Molipa-Fosigboye road; Oru-Awa-Ilaporu road; Hospital road in Sagamu; Obantoko-Gbonogun road; Elite road; Vesper-Orita meji road; among others. He added that construction work on the Ijebu-Ode-Epe road, Sagamu-Abeokuta interchange Expressway, Elite-Oke-Lantoro road and the Panseke-Adigbe road would soon be completed and commissioned.

The commissioner while urging the people of the state to be patient with the state government, assured them that all the local government areas of the state would feel the presence of the state government in terms of good road infrastructure.

Akinsanya contended that those plying the Panseke-Adigbe road and the Elite-Oke-Lantoro road would soon heave a sigh of relief because asphalting of the roads, which had started would be completed as soon as the raining season ends.

“The Governor had urged the contractors on the Panseke-Adigbe road to do asphalt on the road every two to three weeks. Unfortunately with rain not much can be done but the dry weather is coming. Hopefully, by the end of the year or early January, but the intention is to have it ready for Christmas because the good weather will come in very soon. On the Elite road, work is currently going on with the drainages, so as to control the flood that happened previously. The road will also be completed very soon,” he said.

Also, the Special Adviser to the State Governor on Public Communication, Hon. Remmy Hassan who also disclosed that the state government at the Virtual Executive Council meeting made decisions on the pricing of the housing project embarked upon by the state government so as to reflect the affordable housing mantra of the present administration added that the decision to look into the price of the houses was graciously approved by the meeting.
