Ladejobi Shuaib, chairman of Odogbolu Local Government in Ogun State, over the weekend commissioned trailer parks, relaxation hub and vigilante out-post office at Odogbolu junction along Sagamu-Benin express road.
Speaking at the event, the Chairman said the commissioning of the trailer park became necessary to harness the economic potential and needs of travellers along the expressway and boost the economic activities in Odogbolu LGA.
He said the idea of revamping the park became necessary as a result of the incessant breakdown of trucks and other vehicles on the highway as it causes accidents, especially at night.
