Governor Dapo Abiodun
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has responded to criticism over the state of roads and infrastructure in Ogun, urging residents to be patient.
The state governor placed emphasis on the enormous challenge of fixing all the roads, stating that even an eight-year tenure is not enough to complete such an extensive road repairs.
“I want to implore our people to be patient with us. We cannot fix all the bad roads in three years,” Governor Abiodun told journalists on Monday.
“In fact, no administration can reconstruct all the roads in Ogun State, not even in 8 years,” the governor added.
Governor Dapo Abiodun, who has been in office since 2019, faced heavy criticism last week as residents expressed their frustrations using the #Dapofixogunroads hashtag on X and other social media.
