From Iseyin to Ipapo to okaka and then on to Ago are and up to Saki it’s being a new lease of life for the people of Oke – Ogun area, as they can now travel to other parts of the state without stress.

The lawmaker said he used the instrumentality of legislative intervention to facilitate the massive and comprehensive repair and maintenance of the Federal Roads in the Oke – Ogun area.

“For me as a member of the federal parliament, it’s one of the ways I can intervene to ensure that my people have a better quality life.”

Asked on the process leading to the massive intervention by the Federal ministry of works, the lawmaker has this to say:

“In 2017, during a joint budget session by the House and the Senate, I told HE Babatunde Fashola, the Hon. Minister of Works and Housing, that the roads in the entire Oke – Ogun area were constructed by the Western region Government and I grew up to know them in the early seventies, and that no serious attempt has been made to maintain or fix the roads which have become a daily nightmare for my people travelling to other parts of the state and beyond.

I thank the Hon
Minister and his team for coming to our aid.

“I will continue to work relentlessly to bring to the front burner at all times, the challenges facing my people in the entire Oke ogun area.”
