Gov Dapo Blames Past Govt for Deplorable Roads

Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has blamed past government for his inability to meet up with the challenged conditions of the state road.

Abiodun made this known during an on-the-spot assessment of roads in the Ifo Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “When I assumed office on the 29th of May, 2019, the deficit that we met on assumption of office was such that we began to wonder what the previous administration was doing.

“In some instances, they appear to have good intentions, they go to the roads, they demolished houses, roads that should not be more than a single carriageway, they turned them to dual carriageway By so doing, they removed all the asphalt that was there serving the people and abandoned these roads.

“We inherited quite a lot of these roads. Some of those roads are federal roads, and you know our people cannot differentiate between federal and state. They will geo-locate their pains where and when they are feeling it.”

“In fact, no administration can reconstruct all the roads in Ogun State, not even in 8 years.”
