Dapo Abiodun, Sanwo-Olu, others for PEWAN Outstanding Performance Award
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and his counterpart in Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, have been shortlisted for Outstanding Performance Awards in infrastructure development in their respective states.
The Award by the Property and Environment Writers Association of Nigeria (PEWAN) is in recognition of the giant strides of the duo in the areas of infrastructure and housing provisions since coming into office.
“As journalists saddled with the responsibility of reporting the housing/ construction sector, it has become imperative for us to recognise the progress made by the governors in order to spur them to do more,” Chairman of the association, Okwy Iroegbu-Chikezie, explained.
“It’s for this reason and more that PEWAN has deemed it fit to recognise the Outstanding Performance of these Governors through the Awards,” she added.
Some of the achievements of Governor Abiodun are the construction and dualisation of Ijebu-Ode – Epe Road; reconstruction of Shagamu- Abeokuta Expressway, Ilaro-Owode-Yewa road and Lusada-Atan – Agbara road, Arepo Road and Construction of Agro Cargo Airport
