‘You’ve Not Been Fair To Ogun’ – Gov Abiodun Tackles Buhari Govt
Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has taken on President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, accusing it of not allocating its fair share of road restoration funds to the state.
On Monday, Abiodun hosted Dr. Muheeba Dankaka, Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, who was on a courtesy call with his team to the Oke-Mosan Governor’s office in Abeokuta.
According to Abiodun, the Federal Government should apply the federal character principle to road rehabilitations, claiming that Ogun needs special attention in this regard.
He insisted that the Gateway State should be given more attention on its highways than it is currently receiving from the Buhari administration, especially considering its crucial location as the nation’s industrial center.
He emphasized that the federal government should not overlook the fact that many federal highways in Ogun are in bad shape.
“We are not getting a fair share of road rehabilitation in this state. There is a video being circulated on social media showing the bad condition of roads in Ado-Odo/Ota right now. Ado-Odo/Ota harbours the biggest industries in this country, but regrettably, 90 per cent of the federal roads here are in bad shape.

“The Federal Government has so much to do, but Ogun state needs federal attention on road rehabilitation.
“We deserve a better share of federal attention. I have asked the federal government to give Ogun State roads special attention because a lot of its roads are in this state,” the governor said.
The governor mentioned that his government had decided to reconstruct the Ijebu-Ode-Epe road to ease the suffering of commuters in the axis with toll gates.
Abiodun pointed out the importance of a good road network in the socio-economic development of any nation.
He noted that infrastructure remained one of the factors other sectors depend on to operate effectively.
In her words, the FCC Chairman, disclosed that the commission has gone far in implementing its mandates by ensuring equal distribution of social services and economic opportunities for all Nigerians, noting that Ogun with its landmark and economic potentials has received its fair share in terms of appointments.
