The 43km Obajana-Kabba road project is said to be the country’s longest concrete road project, gulping billions of naira.
The paramount ruler said: “Without this road, Okun people would have been completely shut out from the state capital, Lokoja. We are most grateful. I don’t know why the arrangement of the road stopped at Kabba, it would have terminated at Egbe or Ilorin.”
The monarch, who made the remark Tuesday during his visit to Dangote Cement Plant Obajana, thanked the President of Dangote Group Alhaji Aliko Dangote, for creating jobs for Okun people and for supporting the Nigerian economy.
Responding, the General Manager Community Relations and Special Duties, Mr. Ade Anlemi, said the company spent billions of naira to support the state and host communities through its various Corporate Social Responsibility programmes.
