MOWE, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA — The Executive Chairman of Obafemi Owode Local Government, Amb. Adesina ‘Lanre Ogunsola, FCPA, has commenced the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Pakuro 09 Junction–Mowe Market Road as part of efforts to improve road infrastructure, ease transportation and promote commercial activities across the local government area.
The road project, identified by reference number OOLG/006/2026, is being executed by SOLE Limited under the administration of Amb. Ogunsola.
The reconstruction is expected to improve connectivity between Mowe Market and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, providing better access for traders, residents, commuters and other road users who depend on the route for their daily commercial and transportation activities.
The project forms part of the administration’s grassroots development initiatives aimed at addressing infrastructure challenges and improving the movement of people and goods across Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.
The Pakuro 09 Junction–Mowe Market Road serves as an important access route for residents and business operators in Mowe and its surrounding communities.
The ongoing reconstruction is expected to reduce transportation difficulties, improve access to the market and facilitate the movement of goods and services.
The intervention also underscores the importance of functional road infrastructure in supporting local businesses, reducing travel difficulties and strengthening economic activities within the local government area.
The administration has continued to identify infrastructure development as a key component of its grassroots governance agenda, alongside interventions in education, healthcare and community empowerment.
In a related development, Amb. Ogunsola has commenced the construction of a modern market at Ibafo as part of efforts to improve market infrastructure and provide a more suitable commercial environment for traders and residents.
The initiative is intended to support commercial growth in Ibafo, a rapidly developing community whose proximity to Lagos State contributes to its increasing economic and commercial activities.
The modern market is expected to provide improved trading facilities, promote a more organised market environment and create opportunities for local business operators.
The project reflects the administration’s stated commitment to improving public infrastructure and responding to the developmental needs of communities across Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.
Amb. Ogunsola disclosed these development initiatives during a campaign visit by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Kajola, Odo Ijesa and Obafemi communities.
During the engagement, he highlighted the importance of leadership, community participation and infrastructure development in addressing the needs of residents.
He also called on residents to participate in the democratic process and support the APC candidates for the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
The Chairman mentioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Senator Olamilekan Adeola Solomon-Yayi, Senator Shuaib Afolabi Salisu, Hon. Olumide Osoba and Hon. Soneye Damilola Kayode among the party’s candidates and political figures discussed during the campaign engagement.
The offices and candidacies mentioned should be confirmed against the party’s official nominations and the relevant electoral timetable.
Furthermore, as part of his engagement with the communities, Amb. Ogunsola also promised to construct a mini-bridge linking Odo Ijesa, Isan and Aberu communities in Kajola axis of Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.
The proposed bridge is intended to improve connectivity among the communities and ease movement for residents, farmers, traders and other road users.
When delivered, the intervention could improve access between the benefiting communities and support the transportation of agricultural produce and other goods.
The proposed project reflects the administration’s recognition of the importance of community-level infrastructure in improving mobility and supporting economic activities in rural and semi-urban areas.
The reconstruction of Mowe Market Road, the modern market project in Ibafo and the proposed mini-bridge linking Odo Ijesa, Isan and Aberu form part of the infrastructure initiatives being highlighted by the Ogunsola administration.
The projects are expected to contribute to the improved transportation, enhanced commercial activities and better access to public infrastructure.
”As construction progresses, residents and other stakeholders will look forward to the timely completion and durability of the projects, as well as their practical impact on the communities they are designed to serve” he stated.
The administration’s infrastructure delivery efforts will ultimately be assessed by the quality of completed projects, their sustainability and the benefits they provide to the people of Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.
