The Ogun State Government has cited bureaucratic complexities and the need for the Federal Government’s approval as the primary reason behind the delay in reconstructing the worn-out pathway leading to the Wole Soyinka Train Station in Abeokuta, the state capital.
In a statement on Tuesday via X, the government acknowledged that enhancing the route is a matter close to its heart, as it holds the promise of making train travel more enjoyable for commuters.
the commencement of the rainy season, residents from over 48 communities along the 4km Idi-Aba-Olokuta-Wole Soyinka Train Station-Laderin road in Abeokuta, are unhappy due to the distress the impact the enormous rainfall will have on their already deplorable road.
However, reacting on Tuesday, the state government noted that it has been treading cautiously, refraining from vocalising its concerns, “lest it be misconstrued as making excuses.”
