The ongoing township road construction in Igbotu, Ese-Odo Local Government Area by the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC) is swiftly progressing with more supply of sufficient materials on the site.

This was revealed from the progress report received from the Commission’s Project Department on 27th November, 2022 which indicated a completion of 970m drains (485m on the right hand side and 485m on the left hand side). The first and second culverts measuring at 8m x 1.25m x 0.85m and 8.5m x 1.25m x 0.85 are also fully completed with headwall.
