Revamping Road Infrastructure in Ogun State: A Call to Action by Segun Sowunmi
In a bold statement on his verified Facebook page, Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State and a gubernatorial aspirant for the 2023 elections, expressed deep concern over the deplorable state of road networks in the state. Describing it as shameful and embarrassing, Sowunmi highlighted the urgent need for attention to this critical issue.
He pointed out that the deteriorating road infrastructure not only affects residents but also tarnishes the image of Ogun State as a gateway to other regions. Sowunmi emphasized the importance of effective local government involvement in addressing these challenges and urged Governor Dapo Abiodun to prioritize road repairs by declaring a state of emergency.
Calling for practical business models and private equity mobilization to fix the roads, Sowunmi urged all stakeholders to work together towards revamping the infrastructure and restoring the state’s reputation. It is time for action, he concluded, to ensure that Ogun State does not remain an infrastructural disaster.
