The Federal government is set to immediately commence the rehabilitation of the failed portions of Lagos Sango-Abeokuta federal highway.
This followed an intervention by the Ogun State governor Governor Abiodun over the deplorable condition of federal roads in the state.
Minister of Works and Housing Minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola, gave the commitment on Tuesday during a teleconference between the State Governor and the Minister’s Team.

At the meeting called at the instance of Governor Abiodun were the Minister; managing director, Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Engr. Nurudeen Rafindadi; Director of Federal Highway (Construction and Rehabilitation), Engr Folorunso Esan; among others.
