Otta Residents Commend President Tinubu Over Ota-Idiroko International Road, Urge Caution, Demand Quality, and Speed
Residents of Otta, the economic nerve centre of Ogun State, have expressed profound appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the ongoing reconstruction of the strategic Ota-Idiroko International Road, describing the intervention as a timely response to a long-standing infrastructural challenge.
In separate interviews, community members and road users noted that the road project, when completed, will significantly enhance mobility, boost cross-border trade, and reinforce Otta’s status as a major commercial hub in Ogun State. They acknowledged that although the project is still ongoing, visible progress has rekindled hope among residents and business owners alike.
While commending the Federal Government for the initiative, residents also appealed to motorists to exercise patience and adhere strictly to safety measures while navigating the construction zones. They emphasised the need for caution to prevent spoilage and ensure the safety of both road users and construction workers.
Speaking on the progress of the project, the site supervisor, Engineer. Taiwo Olagoke assured the public of the contractor’s commitment to excellence. According to him, “the road will not only be delivered within the stipulated timeframe, but the quality of the work is also guaranteed to meet required standards.”
Residents further highlighted that upon completion, the road will not only enhance connectivity within Ogun State but will also link Nigeria seamlessly to neighbouring countries across the international border, thereby strengthening regional trade and economic integration.
Concerned residents, however, warned against any attempt to politicise the project, stressing that its success should transcend political interests. They called for sustained support and cooperation from all stakeholders and residents in and around the axis, noting that this is a critical phase that demands unity to ensure timely and quality delivery.
They maintained that they look forward to its completion within the stipulated period and quality job delivery that will stand the test of time, considering the significance of the ever-busy corridor.
