Nigeria: Tinubu Flags Off Reconstruction of Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road, Approves Abeokuta-Ibadan Dualisation
The 58-kilometre Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode project uses reinforced concrete pavement and is expected to finish in less than 24 months, Tinubu said.
- On Monday, the Federal Government flagged off the reconstruction and dualisation of the 58-kilometre Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road linking Oyo and Ogun states, with Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the ceremony.
- JRB Construction Company is handling the 58-kilometre dual carriageway project, which serves as a vital economic link between Oyo and Ogun states and is expected to be completed in less than 24 months.
- Minister of Works Dave Umahi announced the immediate reconstruction of the 70-kilometre Abeokuta-Ibadan Road, noting Oyo State currently hosts 17 of the 47 Federal Government road projects being executed across the South-West.
- Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde did not attend the ceremony, with his Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, alleging deliberate exclusion and describing the event as a 'political jamboree.'
- The controversy has shifted focus to the 2027 race, where Makinde, the Allied Peoples Movement presidential candidate, intends to challenge Tinubu; both sides exchanged accusations amid heightened political friction.
