According to the governor, the Ogijo community is one of the industrial areas of the state as it enjoys gas reticulation, stating that his administration has solved the electricity challenges that affected the community for decades through the provision of transformers and other electric accessories.

Governor Abiodun however called on the residents of the area to take charge of the road by ensuring that the drainage is not blocked due to the indiscriminate dumping of refuse as according to him, it is their tax that was used to construct it.

Meanwhile, the Ologijo of Ogijoland, Oba Kezeem Gbadamosi, who represented the Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, in his goodwill remarks, said through an industrial hub, the area suffered many years of neglect as previous administrations did not pay attention to the community’s infrastructural needs, adding that with the commissioning of the road, the narrative has changed for the better.

While calling the governor’s attention to other deplorable roads in the area, the monarch appreciated the state government for ensuring that the road is well constructed with good drainage system, adding that the community has benefited from education, water and electrification projects.
