Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Monday appealed to the Federal Government for a reimbursement on Federal roads across the state, to enable his administration deliver “more of the dividends of democracy to the people of the state.”
Amosun stated this at his Oke-Mosan office, Abeokuta while receiving the members of the Senate Committee on Works, which was on an oversight function on federal roads in the state.
The governor who disclosed that there would not be development without these infrastructures in place, urged the Committee to remember the state in all the areas highlighted when considering the 2019 budget.
Amosun, while commending President Muhammadu Buhari for the attention presently giving to Lagos/Ibadan expressway and Sagamu/Ore/Benin road, enjoined the Federal Government to concede some of its roads across the state to Ogun Government for construction.
Earlier, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Works, Kabiru Gaya, said the purpose of their visit was to see the condition of the federal and state roads under construction in the state.
Speaking with journalists after inspecting some of the roads and other ongoing construction, Gaya expressed satisfaction on the level of the works done, while commending the Governor for an impressive performance.
He assured the Governor of Federal Government’s refund, saying this would assist the State government to do more for the people.
