Governor Abiodun appreciated the people for their cooperation despite the fact that some of their properties were demolished to give way for the expansion of the road.

Residents of the area, represented by Mr. Bolaji Kareem and Mary Ariyo, had earlier informed the governor of the hardship they go through on the road, particularly during rainy season. They pleaded with Governor Abiodun to complete some of the roads that had been abandoned for years.

He said government would also provide the estate with functional Primary Health Centre in the next four months, just as the road project scheduled to be completed in nine months, would be completed in six months time, calling on Journalists to ensure fair and balanced reportage.
