FG Launches Ibadan–Ijebu Ode Road Dualisation Project

On August 24, 2026, the Federal Government of Nigeria, represented by the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator (Engr.) David Nweze Umahi, CON, flagged off the dualisation of the Ibadan–Ijebu Ode Road in Ibadan, Oyo State. This initiative signifies the end of temporary fixes on the vital corridor and aims to deliver durable infrastructure under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's leadership.

The 56.5 km dualisation project, awarded to JRB Construction Limited, is designed to enhance economic opportunities across the Lagos-Ogun-Oyo axis, reduce travel times, and address security challenges associated with the road's deteriorated sections. Umahi emphasized the project's strategic importance, stating it would unlock agricultural and commercial potential while eliminating vulnerabilities like kidnapping.

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, representing President Tinubu, underscored the project's significance as a crucial economic link between Oyo and Ogun states, affirming the administration's commitment to infrastructure development.
