Protests Over Delayed Road Reconstruction in Abeokuta
What happened
Youths from the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Ogun West Senatorial District, protested the poor condition of the Abeokuta–Olorunda–Imeko Road. They urged Governor Dapo Abiodun to implement the reconstruction project, which he had directed the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure to estimate on January 28, 2026. Despite the commitment, the road's condition has worsened months later.
