Adebogun said the road before now ranked among the worst,
not only in Lagos, but in Nigeria, and had become an albatross to past
administrations in the country.
The educationist gave the commendation during an interaction
with the media in Lagos, noting that by this singular action, President Tinubu
has renewed the hope of residents and commuters along that axis, who had lost
hope that the decrepit road would ever be repaired.
“The road usually gets abandoned during the rainy season and
had posed a recurrent nightmare to residents and commuters along the axis from
Ikorodu through Imota to Itoikin and beyond to Epe. It was a harrowing
experience for road users during vacation and festive periods,” he said.
Adebogun said it was a huge relief for residents when the
rehabilitation was completed in March this year, thereby reducing Ikorodu to
Epe travel time from about two hours to less than thirty minutes. He described
the rehabilitation of the road as a pointer and attestation that many more
development projects promised by the Tinubu administration would be completed
and delivered.
The school proprietor also commended Dave Umahi, the
minister of works, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, and Adetokunbo Abiru,
the senator representing Lagos East District, for the various roles they played
in the rehabilitation of Ikorodu-Imota road.
He recalled how Sanwo-Olu visited to assess the deplorable
condition of the road early this year while Abiru moved a motion in 2021 on the
floor of the Nigerian Senate on, “The urgent need for the rehabilitation of the
Ikorodu-Sagamu and Ikorodu-Itoikin-Epe Roads to further bridge the
infrastructure gap and enhance economic growth in Nigeria”.
Adebogun said in less than one year in office, President
Tinubu has performed creditably and deserves the support of Nigerians to
actualise all aspects of his Renewed Hope Agenda.
