The governor said he was impressed with the level of work done so far by the contractor, adding that though the topography of the area has added some challenges to the project, the drainage system which is about 500 metres long has almost been completed.

According to the governor, after the stone base has been put in place, the asphalting of the road would commence, assuring that within two months, the people would see the end of this project.

He said: “This road is one of the roads we identified as critical to the economy of the state. It leads to the capital of one of the biggest local government areas in our state.

“When completed, it will save the people coming from the state capital to Owode the trouble of going through the Interchange. The road is about six kilometres and has been in a state of disrepair for more than 16 years.”
