Prince Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has said that the 14.7km Ijebu-Ode-Epe Expressway will be completed by May 2021 instead of the initial plan of completing it in February.

The Governor said the shift of completion was due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic that shook the world since early February.

He disclosed this on Thursday during the official unveiling of the new ultra-modern automated PET line of the Nigerian Breweries Plc in Ijebu Ode.

Prince Abiodun said, “Ogun State shares border with other states in the region, except Ekiti State. This has conferred on us the role of a gateway to other parts of the country. This informed our decision to construct the Ijebu-Ode-Epe Expressway.

“This was flagged off this year and was planned to be completed by February but for COVID-19. By the grace of God, it will be completed by May 2021.”
