In the same vein, projects such as Elicana Phase 1, Ajakaiye Street, Arigidi\/Sonaya Street, Adegbola Street, Adeniyi Street, Onilude Street, Okanlawon Street, Old Union Street, Onafuwa Street, and Abolore Phase 1 were successfully delivered.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, construction works covered Anuoluwapo Street, Ashafa Street, Oredapo Street, Mayaka Street, Sarumi Alawo Street, Akerele Street, Ashiata Street, Abeje Street, Ashaolu Street, and Kosoko Street.<\/p>\n<p>Significantly, Adebari Street was both constructed and interlocked, while Olowo Street benefitted from a combination of construction, installation of streetlights, and the provision of a security house, reflecting a comprehensive approach to infrastructure and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Residents and stakeholders have continued to acknowledge the impact of these projects.<\/p>\n<p>A community leader noted that the roads \u201cgreatly improved accessibility and supported economic activities across several neighbourhoods,\u201d adding that many previously inaccessible areas have now been opened up.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, political observers maintain that Egunjobi\u2019s infrastructure footprint underscores his administrative capacity and grassroots appeal.<\/p>\n<p>They argued that his performance in office provides a solid foundation for legislative representation.<\/p>\n<p>As the contest for the Green Chamber intensifies, supporters insist that his track record in road development remains a defining factor, positioning him as a candidate capable of attracting meaningful progress and sustained development for Agege at the national level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Chairman of Agege Local Government, Hon.
