Ogun West Youths Demand Action on Deteriorating Road

On October 26, 2026, youths from the National Youth Council of Nigeria in Ogun West protested to urge the Ogun State Government to fulfill its January 2026 commitment to reconstruct the Abeokuta–Olorunda–Imeko Road. The protest occurred along the Alamala axis of the expressway, where demonstrators carried placards demanding better road conditions.

Kehinde Olorunjubelo, the State Vice Chairman of the NYCN, emphasized that Governor Dapo Abiodun had directed the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure to prepare an estimate for the road's reconstruction during the commissioning of the Afon Township Road on January 28, 2026. However, months later, no visible progress has been made, and the road's condition has deteriorated further, impacting local residents, traders, farmers, and students.

Olorunjubelo called for urgent intervention from both state and federal governments, requesting a clear timeline for the project and measures to prevent further deterioration.
