During his inspection tour, Governor Dapo Abiodun declared a state of emergency on the Lagos-Sango Ota-Abeokuta Road and also stated that his administration is giving the Federal Government a 2-week window to intervene on this road.

Upon hearing this, Prince Dapo Abiodun immediately revoked their contract due to the slow pace of work, and awarded it to CCECC who will now handle all the roadworks.
