The Federal Government would soon begin the Rehabilitation of the Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta federal highway.
The Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, announced this during a teleconference between the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun and the minister’s team.

According to him, those portions of the federal roads have become a nightmare to motorists and commuters.
A team of engineers from the Federal Ministry of Works is now expected on Thursday for preparatory assessment ahead of the rehabilitation works.
Present at the meeting called at the instance of Governor Abiodun was the Minister; Managing Director, Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Engr. Nurudeen Rafindadi; Director of Federal Highway (Construction and Rehabilitation), Engr Folorunso Esan; among others.
Governor Abiodun assured residents of the state that his administration will leave no stone unturned in his commitment to building and upgrading public infrastructure across the state.
