The governor emphasized that the Adigbe Road, which ought to have been completed before now but for the global Covid-19 pandemic, was initially awarded by the Governor Ibikunle Amosun-led administration but was abandoned by the contractor due to nonavailability of funds.
While assuring that the current administration would complete any of the roads inherited from the last administration that will add value to the state economy, Governor Abiodun urged the residents to exercise patience as government is working hard in ensuring timely completion of all the roads for the benefit of the people of the state.
