The Ogun State Government has approved major road construction and rehabilitation projects across the state, alongside the procurement of an advanced Siemens helium free 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine for the Gateway Medical Centre of Excellence.

The approvals are aimed at improving road connectivity, supporting economic activities and expanding access to quality diagnostic services.

According to a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, the decisions were reached at the State Executive Council meeting held on Tuesday.

The approved road projects include the construction of the RCCG New Auditorium Road to One Million Junction in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area and the rehabilitation of two stretches of Old Ondo Road in Ijebu Ode Local Government Area: Lagos Garage to Epe Garage and Lagos Garage to Adeola Odutola College.

The Council also approved the construction of Saje Junction to Elega Road and the reconstruction of the corridor linking Ajitadun Roundabout, Mokola Underbridge and Elega Junction, both in Abeokuta North Local Government Area.

These projects are expected to ease travel, facilitate the movement of goods and services, and improve access to homes, businesses and economic centres within the benefiting communities.

In the health sector, the approved Siemens 1.5 Tesla MRI machine will strengthen the diagnostic capacity of the Gateway Medical Centre of Excellence, enabling more accurate and timely diagnosis of conditions requiring advanced medical imaging.

The equipment is also expected to reduce the need for residents to seek diagnostic services outside Ogun State, while complementing the government’s investment in modern healthcare facilities.

The approvals reflect the administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun’s determination to translate infrastructure investment into practical improvements in people’s lives through better roads, stronger economic connections and greater access to quality healthcare.
