However, delays in execution were attributed to budgetary constraints and the escalating costs of construction materials, which the government assured were being addressed.

Akinsanya reiterated the government’s commitment to addressing the road project and emphasized the need for cooperation between the government and citizens to navigate economic challenges and ensure the successful completion of developmental projects.
