He noted that the Abiodun-led administration is focusing on both urban and rural road projects as a means of supporting local businesses, facilitating community connections, and promoting economic development throughout the state.

“The exercise is not just about patching roads; it is about making life easier for our people and supporting commerce. Better roads will translate into reduced travel time, safer journeys, and stronger economic activities for our communities”, Adesina added.
