Governor Amosun Opens First Flyover in Ogun

Amidst pomp and circumstance Wednesday in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, the state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, declared open the first ever flyover bridge constructed by any state government since the creation of Ogun in 1976.

The four-lane overhead bridge begins at the end of Lalubu Road and opens into the elaborate, international standard six-lane Ibara-Totoro Road, which is complete with modern features such as drains, median, greenbelt, walkway, street lights, modern bus-stop and pedestrian bridge with an air-conditioner.

Speaking at the ceremony, Amosun said the massive investment in infrastructure was in fulfillment of his electoral promises to the people of the state.

He noted that the new bridge would aid movement of goods and services, ease flow of traffic, reduce manpower-time wasted on the road, thereby improving the productive time of every individual plying the road.

“Our goal is to put our state in the league of advanced economies and make it investors’ destination of choice not only in Nigeria but sub-Saharan Africa. To achieve this, we will continue to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and construct not just modern but high-tech infrastructure that will enhance the magnificence of our environment and act as a catalyst for our socio-economic development,” Amosun said.
