ABIODUN’S INFRA DRIVE GAINS MOMENTUM: Ogun Exco Approves Seven Strategic Roads, Unveils “Revenue House,” Confirms New Traditional Rulers

The Ogun State Executive Council has approved a sweeping package of infrastructure projects and key traditional leadership confirmations in a decisive move to accelerate development and strengthen governance across the state.

The resolutions were reached at Friday’s Executive Council meeting held at the Executive Chamber, presided over by Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Seven Roads Across Three Senatorial Districts
At the heart of the approvals is the rehabilitation and construction of seven strategic roads cutting across Ogun’s three senatorial districts, a development aimed at enhancing connectivity, easing traffic congestion, and unlocking socio-economic opportunities.

The approved projects include:
Molipa Expressway Roundabout to Ibadan Garage along Ejirin–Folagbade Roundabout, Ijebu-Ode – 2.3km (10.3m width)
Bible College Road, Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota LGA – additional rehabilitation works
Ajaka Road via Awolowo Market, Sagamu – 870m (8m width)
Gbadebo Street/Hospital Road, Ayegbami, Sagamu – 900m (8m width)
Okenla Street, off Imoru Road, Ijebu-Ode – 0.53km (10m width)
Yemogun Street, Ogere, Ikenne LGA – 1.25km (7.3m width)
Right-hand side of Carwash–Moore Junction Road, Adatan, Abeokuta – reconstruction
The projects are expected to open up communities for increased commercial and residential activities while strengthening intra-state mobility.
‘Revenue House’ to Boost IGR

In a major institutional reform move, Council also approved the reconstruction and completion of the Block E Office Complex (Phase 1) within the State Secretariat, Oke Imosan, Abeokuta.
The facility has been renamed “Revenue House,” reflecting its strategic role in enhancing internally generated revenue and improving operational efficiency across government agencies.

The development underscores the Abiodun administration’s commitment to modernising public infrastructure and deepening fiscal sustainability.
Traditional Institutions Strengthened
Further reinforcing grassroots governance and the preservation of cultural heritage, the Council confirmed the appointments of the following traditional rulers:
Prince Raheem Afolabi Ogunlaja – Nnoku of Iraye, Remo North LGA
Prince Tajudeen Adeoye Olukunle – Onisale of Isale, Gbokoto, Yewa North LGA
Prince Obajimi Sunday Olatunji – Alodo of Ado, Sagamu
Prince Dr. Adesegun Adedapo Ogunsola – Lowa Ibu of Batoro, Sagamu
Prince (Elder) Moses Oludotun Fadairo – Baale of Orile Oko
The confirmations reaffirm the administration’s recognition of traditional institutions as vital partners in community development, security architecture, and socio-cultural cohesion across Ogun State.
