Ogun begins new phase of road maintenance ahead of Yuletide season 

The Ogun State Government has commenced a new phase of road maintenance across the state as part of preparations for the Yuletide season.

The initiative, coordinated by the Ogun State Public Works Agency, OGPWA, seeks to improve road conditions, ease traffic flow, and enhance safety for residents, commuters and tourists.

Speaking on the renewed intervention on Thursday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Works,  Babatunde Adesina, reiterated that the intervention was part of a continuous road improvement programme aimed at boosting economic activities and ensuring safer mobility across the state.

Adesina said the state was committed to ensuring that major and inner roads remained motorable throughout and after the festive period.

“We understand that the Yuletide season comes with increased movement and it is our responsibility to ensure that the roads are safe and accessible. This new phase of maintenance demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing reliable infrastructure for the people of Ogun State.”

He explained that the ongoing repairs would focus on high-traffic corridors, link roads and critical routes connecting major communities, adding that the agency had already deployed multiple teams across the three senatorial districts to ensure timely completion.

“Our teams are on the field carrying out pothole patching and other essential repairs. We want residents and travellers to experience smoother movement as they go about their activities during this festive period,” Adesina added.

He encouraged the general public to support the agency by reporting areas requiring urgent attention, as community feedback would always play key roles in the agency’s rapid-response efforts.
