The Ogun State Government has approved a series of critical road construction and rehabilitation initiatives spanning multiple local government areas, alongside the procurement of state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to bolster the state’s healthcare delivery.
The approvals, announced following a State Executive Council meeting on Tuesday, include the construction of the RCCG New Auditorium Road to One Million Junction in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, alongside the rehabilitation of two vital stretches of the Old Ondo Road in Ijebu Ode running from Lagos Garage to Epe Garage and Adeola Odutola College.
Additional infrastructural upgrades approved for Abeokuta North encompass the construction of the Saje Junction to Elega Road as well as the comprehensive reconstruction of the corridor linking Ajitadun Roundabout, the Mokola Underbridge, and Elega Junction.
According to a statement issued by Hon. Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, these comprehensive road projects are designed to ease commuter traffic, facilitate the seamless movement of commercial goods, and enhance connectivity for residents and local businesses.
Simultaneously, the administration has approved the acquisition of an advanced Siemens helium-free 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine destined for the Gateway Medical Centre of Excellence.
This high-tech medical installation is intended to dramatically elevate the state’s diagnostic capabilities, ensure faster and more precise medical evaluations, and curb the financial and logistical burden on residents who previously had to travel outside Ogun State for advanced imaging services.
