The Ogun State House of Assembly Committee on Works and Infrastructure has enjoined both the Federal and State Governments in the country to increase the patronage of indigenous contractors in the execution of their projects. Doing this, according to members of the Committee would go a long way in creating more employment opportunities and improve the socio-economic status of Nigerians. The Committee members led by their Chairman, Hon. Joseph Adegbesan bore their minds while inspecting various road projects embarked upon by the State government in different parts of the State in continuation of their appraisal of 2013 budget implementation. Hon. Adegbesan noted that the projects being handled by foreign contractors are well implemented, but contended that if given similar opportunity, local contractors could perform excellently like their foreign counterparts. He commended the Senator Amosun-led administration for its vision and the quality of job done on the on-going road projects across the three senatorial districts of the State, adding that they would indeed make living more abundant for residents. Projects inspected include phases one and two of Ilo-Awela and Ota township, Ilara-Egua-Ijoun–Oja Odan, Mowe–Ofada–Ibafo, Ayetoro-Olodo and Lafenwa–Ayetoro roads. Others are Mobalufon junction and overhead bridge, Lagos garage and bridge in Ijebu-Ode, Ago-Iwoye–Ilisan road,Sagamu and all the on-going road projects within the Abeokuta metropolis.
