OSOPADEC, Ilaje Lawmakers Inspect Aboto–Atijere Road, Promise Completion by December 2026
During an inspection of the Aboto–Atijere Road project, OSOPADEC Chairman Prince Olabiyi Poroye and Hon. Segun Iwalokun led a delegation from the Ilaje Legislative Council. They assured residents the road would be completed before December 2026. The visit allowed them to review progress and reaffirm state government support. Prince Poroye called the road a critical link for economic, social, and security reasons. He noted that the project began in 2019 with a 24-month completion target but stalled due to funding and administrative challenges. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration has since intervened to ensure steady progress. Contractor Managing Director Chief Akindele Fajemiyo confirmed earlier delays were due to funding shortages. He commended the governor for guaranteeing funds and pledged to finish the road this year. Only seven kilometres remain between Akata Junction and Atijere. Community leaders, including the Oloja of Akata, Chief Oke Olejagbo, praised the renewed effort. They said the completed road would ease tensions between Makun and Atijere communities and spark lasting development.
