An update and pictures of the 8.3 km Akobo-Ojurin-Olorunda Abaa Road. The dualisation of the 8.3 km Akobo-Ojurin-Olorunda Abaa Road, executed by the Lagelu Local Government Council, is now complete. This strategic road project, which was flagged off on 9 June 2023, was designed to enhance the connectivity between Akobo and Olorunda Abaa, through Olorunda. With construction now finished, residents and commuters are already benefiting from reduced travel times and smoother access along the corridor.

Although progress was initially slowed by necessary demolitions, including sections of the Nigerian Army Barracks fence to accommodate the expanded dual carriageway, the project eventually picked up pace. The road features a fully tarred surface, integrated drainage systems, and pedestrian walkways to enhance safety and longevity. Solar-powered streetlights have also been installed, ensuring the road remains accessible and secure at night.

The completion of this project marks a major milestone in Lagelu LGA’s infrastructure development efforts. It is a clear example of how Local Government Councils are taking bold steps to improve daily life for residents. The Akobo-Ojurin-Olorunda Abaa Road is already easing congestion in the area and is expected to further stimulate socio-economic activities along the route.

This project aligns with the Oyo State Government’s broader commitment to enhancing road infrastructure across the state, with similar projects ongoing in other Local Government Areas.

    I want to appreciate HE, Governor Seyi Makinde for the infrastructural developments all over Oyo State.I want to say it without any contradiction that ,he is one of the best Governors Oyo State have ever had.

    I want to suggest however that,there is the need for speed breakers on most of these roads because of the excessive speeding of motorists.Again,the spikes that are being installed on roads now need to be installed in most major highways because of recalcitrant road users.Also,there is the need for enforcement and severe penalties for anybody that clogs any of the drainage on the major roads.

    God bless Gov.Seyi Makinde.
    Long live Oyo State.
