Give Special Status To Ogun Roads, Gov. Abiodun Urges FG
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has appealed to the Federal Government to give special consideration to roads in the State has it plays host to the largest industrial hub in the country.
Governor Abiodun who made the appeal at the Stakeholders Town Hall Meeting attended by the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, at the Ogere end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, said roads in the State have become deplorable due to activities of heavy duty trucks.
“It is just right to say that Ogun State deserves a special status in terms of consideration for road constructions.
I believe this is doable. It is not just for Ogun State, it is for the common good of all Nigerians and continued development of our great nation” he noted.
He said most part of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the longest road that leads to busiest Air and Sea Port in the country, is in the State and has over time deteriorated and become a nightmare to motorists and other road users.
“We are particularly delighted that the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is receiving Federal Governments attention.
Indeed, in the last two or three weeks, this road has been a nightmare. At certain points, I have had to personally intervene by directing traffic.
“Experience on this road diminishes the fact that this road leads to the busiest sea and air ports in Nigeria.
We bear the most of the hardship on this road because the longest stretch of the road is in Ogun State.
Whether the stretch from Lagos to Ibadan or the stretch that leads to the East-West Road of Sagamu-Benin Expressway, the longest stretch lies in Ogun State”, he noted.
While appreciating the Federal Government for constructing the road, Governor Abiodun whoever pointed out ecological challenges facing the State as a result of the mining activities by the construction company, calling for more supervision in the issuing of mining licence to serve the environment.
The Governor informed that his administration has commence the construction of the Ijebu-Epe road, while appeal has been made to the Federal Government for the take over of the Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta road to take the load off the Lagos-Ibadan road as well as the 19.8km Atan-Lusada-Agbara, which play host to multinational and domestic industries.
Prince Abiodun who also pointed out the bad condition of the Sagamu-Ogijo-Ikorodu road, said though the state has done Palliatives on some of the roads, these could not be enough as total reconstruction was needed for durability.
He said two fire stations would be built at Isheri and Mowe, to respond to fire emergencies, while a trailer park would be sited at Sagamu to provide alternative to Ogere axis
Speaking, the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, ordered tanker and trailer drivers to move their vehicles out of the road, as pouring of used petroleum products was capable of destroying the roads.
He said the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway constructed in 1974 and Completed in 1978 was to promote north- south commercial activities, calling on the Federal Road Safety Commission to enforce road regulations, as government could not afford its road destroyed by people who are carrying out their private businesses.
While assuring that the Federal government would work with Ogun State to address the environment challenges posed by the road construction, the Minister noted that the Federal Government has heard request of the State on other roads and attention would be given as funds are available.
The Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, represented by the Elegbe of Egbe, Oba Adewale Osibaru, called for the siting of Fire station in the area, while attention should be given to the Sagamu-Ogijo-Ikorodu road. The Alaye Ode, Oba Tunde Osho, appealed for construction of pedestrian bridge in the area and rehabilitation of township roads damage as the result of traffic diversion from the Expressway.
The representatives of the Hausa, Igbo commumities and the Civil Society Organization, made contributions on how to end the gridlock synonymous with the Ogere axis of the State.
Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor
……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.
These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.
The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.
