Ota, Ogun – A multi-million-naira infrastructure project intended to improve access to the High Court in Ota, Ogun State, has come under scrutiny after being left incomplete for several months, causing significant disruption to local commuters.
The construction of the High Court Ota Road, allocated N1.3 billion in the 2024 Federal Government Budget, has reportedly seen only 1 kilometer of work completed, leaving the remaining section in a dilapidated state.
The civic organization Tracka, known for monitoring government projects, released a report Sunday on X, highlighting the stalled progress.
According to Tracka, commuters have expressed frustration over the abandoned site, particularly during the rainy season when the uncompleted section becomes nearly impassable.
The organization has called on the Federal Ministry of Works (FMW) to urgently summon the contractor back to complete the project, emphasizing the road's critical role in facilitating access to the judicial facility.
The project, part of the broader N1.32 trillion allocated for infrastructure in the 2024 budget, was intended to enhance transportation and connectivity in Ogun State. However, the current state of the road—marked by potholes, debris, and limited progress—has raised concerns about mismanagement and delays.
Tracka’s report suggests that the contractor, Messrs LRB Global Investment Ltd, may have abandoned the site, leaving the community to bear the consequences.
