Ogun Govt. renames highway after Pres. Tinubu

The Ogun State Executive Council, led by Governor Dapo Abiodun, has approved the renaming of the Sagamu–Iperu–Sapade Expressway as the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Expressway, in honour of President Bola Tinubu.

According to a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the governor, Kayode Akinmade, the decision followed an earlier announcement to rename the Artery Bypass during the commissioning of the Gateway International Airport and other projects last Saturday.

Similarly, the former Aviation Village in Iperu has been renamed after the late Oba Adeleke Idowu Basibo, in recognition of his contributions to the community.

The Council also approved the procurement of 50 electricity transformers to improve power supply across the state under the Light Up Ogun Project.

Additionally, the Council approved the purchase of 20 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 12 Toyota Fortuner vehicles to support the administrative operations of public officials.

The Council further approved the declaration of the Olu of Odeda stool in Odeda Local Government Area, and ratified the appointments of Prince Adeyemi Ibikunle Opeaye as the Oludotun of Idotun in Ikenne Local Government Area, Chief Yaya Oriyomi as the Olu of Mowe, and Bashorun Peter Oluwole Ogunbayo as the Odemo of Ishara.

Akinmade said the approvals reflect the state government’s continued focus on infrastructure development, strengthened local governance, and community leadership.
